Apple Container: Open-source tool for Linux containers on the Mac

Apple has released an open-source container tool called Container that runs Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on Apple silicon Macs. The tool is written in Swift, optimized for Apple hardware, and supports OCI-compatible images from standard registries.

Why it matters: Developers using Apple silicon need to evaluate this tool as a potential alternative to existing container solutions, particularly for local development workflows that require Linux containerization on macOS.
