i feel like there should be a disclaimer included with #hyperkit/#xhyve that users will end up crashing their machine...like...A LOT when building projects around it. i've certainly come to appreciate the resiliency of #chrome, #atom and #vscode though, so there's that at least!

#Multipass from @Canonical has become my new favorite tool for local system development and testing. Previously I was using #Hyperkit, but it's still just still too rough for the average user. Being able to deploy tiny local VM's on osx/win/nix using cloud-init is brilliant!

The link expansion makes it look like moby/hyperkit is an important part of my post. It’s not. It’s an academic part of how Docker works.

It’s not really something to be toyed with.

I ran a few tests regarding virtio-blk performance.

hosts:
iMac18,3 (i7-7700) Big Sur 11.0.1
Macmini9,1 (M1 16 GB) Big Sur 11.1

Ubuntu VM, running with:
vftool v0.3
canonical multipass 1.5.0 (HyperKit)

multipass is intel-only

deployment details are all in a single YAML manifest, with all #helm overrides included in the deployment YAML. we're configuring #docker runtime (cgroup driver, proxy, etc), and driving local OSX development via #hyperkit. there's a ton going on here.

Lots of questions here.

Docker desktop hides its VM away somewhat as an embedded thing. See github.com/moby/hyperkit

There isn’t an Apple official hypervisor, if that’s what you mean by native.

So if you want a VM (no docker) see OpenBox. Or VMWare and Parallels offer commercial offerings

HELLO PHIGHTING BLUESKY!!! i've returned with #hyperkit art. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!

hey, yo @Docker...do you folks still monitor or maintain the #slack channels for #hyperkit, #linuxkit or #infrakit? i'm loving these projects, but it's awfully quiet and lonely out here. btw...i want to shout-out a big thank-you for everything you guys do!
