Virtualization.framework does most of the things Firecracker does on Linux. It's not literally the same, of course, but it does a comparable amount of the work for you. Here's an example application which uses it: https://github.com/apinske/virt/blob/master/virt/virt/main.swift https://github.com/apinske/virt/blob/master/virt/virt/main.s... And yes, that's really the whole thing. Once the VM is configured (which is what most of the code is concerned with), running it is fully handled by the framework.
