Apple Hypervisor Description

Without third-party kernel extensions, you can build virtualization solutions on top a lightweight hypervisor. Hypervisor offers C APIs that allow you to interact with virtualization technologies in user-space, without the need for kernel extensions (KEXTs). The framework allows you to create apps that are compatible with distribution on the Mac App Store. This framework can be used to create and control hardware-facilitated Virtual Machines and Virtual Processors (VMs, vCPUs) using your entitled, sandboxed user-space process. Hypervisor abstracts virtual machine processes and virtual processors threads. To virtualize hardware resources, Hypervisor requires hardware support. This includes the Virtualization Extensions on Apple silicon. The framework supports Intel-based Mac computers with an Intel VTX feature set, which includes Extended Page Tables and Unrestricted Mode.

    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.
