No idea what the future of that project, or its potential integration with other container management systems might be, but it is certainly interesting at first glance.
Why Not Use Apple Containers Instead?
Because Apple containers:
Aren’t meant for system-level isolation — they’re for app sandboxing.
Don’t provide process namespaces, cgroups, or Linux syscalls, which are essential to containerization.
Wouldn’t be compatible with the entire Linux-based Docker ecosystem (images, tooling, etc.).
So Docker sticks with Linux containers, running them in a VM layer on macOS.
