> If you wonder why that is, it's because Docker for Mac actually runs the Docker engine inside a Linux virtual machine. True of Windows too.

  Doesnt more recent Docker versions use HyperKit?
  • toxik 5y ago
    Correct but it’s still a virtual machine.
    • pantulis 5y ago
      I think I see your point, so it's not like the old explicit Boot2Docker mechanism but you are not running containers natively, right?
      • toxik 5y ago
        It’s not like Docker on Linux, where there are cgroups and everything just zooms along.

  Not when using Windows containers.
