- Kubernetes users building on Apple Silicon Macs
- Worth noticing
- The project reports zero failures in a 1,000-pod VM test; its comparison medians came from three M4 Mac minis.
Field notes
The page says the control plane runs directly on macOS and lists kube-apiserver, etcd, the scheduler, and controllers in one process. Its runtime examples distinguish Linux pods booted as VMs from macOS VMs, host-native processes, and Apple's container tool. For comparisons, it names k3s in Lima and Apple container cluster, and says medians use three M4 Mac minis; raw numbers and methodology are linked in BENCHMARKS.md.
