Rosetta 2 is pretty important for running amd64 containers on Mac. Removing it will be a big disadvantage. Why take something that works well and throw it away with no alternative?

- nimih 1y agoPresumably, you take the employees who were supporting Rosetta 2 and Intel macs, and you either move them to some other team or fire them, and now you've reduced your payroll expenses somewhat, which leads to a relative profit.

- dwaite 1y agoWhy is Rosetta 2 used for running native containers on Apple Silicon? My understanding was that it was used for running x86_64 containers within a arm64 linux VM, because it could provide hardware accelerated emulation for the linux binaries.
