How do you virtualize? Enrolling VMs in Jamf
I’ve been using Virtual Buddy to virtualise mac for quick testing. It’s pretty quick to spin up a vm and can be enrolled without modification to the vm. I think parallels is the same.
- Has anybody used this VirtualOS software? If so, what do you think? Can't find any discussion on it anywhere so it might be a dud but curious to know if anybody has used it.

Apple Virtualization Framework
Right. I forked it [0] myself and added direct Rosetta support which was trivial to do according to the Apple documentation. I just had to convert Swift example code to Obj-C.
Have had a PR open for several months with no attention from the author. I almost forgot about it until seeing this HN headline.
