Qemu performance without hardware virtualization is painfully slow and is not really practical for eg running a Kubernetes cluster.

- seabrookmx 6y agoYeah that's what I was getting at. There is no hardware virtualization here because it's emulating a different architecture. Rosetta 2 is able to do this entirely in software with very impressive performance but I doubt QEMU will be in the same league. That said, if you can get most of your containers in native ARM (you can already run k8s on ARM, for instance), it might be a valid escape hatch for the odd image that hasn't updated yet.
