That's MacOS' fault, in fairness. MacOS does not support containers or the Linux abi in general so you're forced to run docker containers in a Linux VM, with all the CPU and I/O penalties.

It’s MacOS’s fault for not being Linux?

  Microsoft added native container support to Windows. Apple has chosen to essentially ignore them. Microsoft is a much more developer focused company IMHO. Still kinda astonishing how many developers choose MacOS.

    There’s probably not a huge demand for native MacOS containers. Even MacOS VMs are a rarity.

      MacOS VMs are only a rarity because you're only allowed to run them on Apple hardware. If that wasn't the case we'd likely even have cloud support for the platform and Cross-Platform development would be significantly easier.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but the Windows “native container support“ is only for Windows images right? Which no one uses, since 99% of popular software like Redis, Nginx, whatever are for Linux

      I always wondered what percentage of apps in production are using Windows images compared to Linux.

  Well, yes?
