They haven’t clarified if Docker is ARM all the way down or if they are using QEMU to emulate x86 somewhere on the stack.

They wouldn't need qemu anywhere either way; they have their own binary translator.

They've specifically called out that OS level virtualization isn't available in Rosetta 2. So if there is an x86 dependency QEMU becomes necessary.

There's qemu-user for user mode only emulation in addition to qemu-system.

Which for all we know could be qemu ;)

I mean, they have a better emulator that they bought from the QuickTransit folk.
