Apple Hypervisor Description
Develop virtualization solutions utilizing a minimalistic hypervisor that operates without the need for any external kernel extensions. The hypervisor offers C APIs, allowing for interaction with virtualization technologies directly in user space, eliminating the necessity of writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). Consequently, the applications designed with this framework can be distributed through the Mac App Store. Leverage this framework to create and manage hardware-accelerated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your authorized, sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor simplifies the concept of virtual machines as processes and treats virtual processors as threads. It is important to note that the Hypervisor framework relies on hardware capabilities to virtualize resources efficiently. For Apple silicon, this entails support for the Virtualization Extensions, while for Intel-based Macs, it necessitates systems equipped with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This ensures the framework is optimized for performance and security across various hardware configurations.

Operating System that Makes Sense Date: Mar 28 2022
Summary: Having the operating system on my device is such a game-changer. So glad that's how most technology operates now.
Positive: I use all Apple products and it has been such a benefit to be able to operate by userspace and just depend on my device.
Negative: Products are more expensive and then can also sometimes crash.
