Apple Silicon M1 Chips and Docker

The really perplexing thing to me here is that Docker Desktop...was featured on stage at the Apple event. How? Did Apple just hack it together and get it working? Was it just fake? Was Docker involved at all?

I feel like it was implied that Apple was doing the hard work here, but now it looks more like nobody was doing the work, and showing it off working was a hat trick?

FYI "hat trick" has an entirely different meaning

Makes you wonder what else was "simulated" during the demo?

From that image, the docker server could have been running in a Linux VM, and docker desktop connecting to that.

EDIT: change "was" to "could have been".

> docker desktop connecting to that

Docker's blog post says "Docker for Mac (silicon)" dependencies are not working yet. Apple gave the demo 3 months ago.

the UI probably ran in emulated intel mode. That part can totally be dealt with by Rosetta 2 - only the VMs need special support.
