  • tart

    macOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon to use in CI and other automations

  • Boots in 5 minutes, minimum allocation of 24 hours, is "low stock" if you actually try to allocate one, and was recently "no stock". I'd be unsure if its actually available when you need it.

    Would be nice to see a Virtualization.Framework as a service, such as with Tart [1], but perhaps there are performance and security issues when making those M1s multi-tenant. The license limits it to a maximum of two guest systems, and only for the purposes of software development and testing [2].
