Does docker really spin up a VM to run containers?

[–] Kuiche@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yes, under windows and osx at least.

Is that still true? I use Linux but my coworker said docker runs natively now on the M1s but maybe he was making it up

[–] declination@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I suspect they meant it runs natively in that it’s an aarch64 binary. It’s still running a VM under the hood because docker is really just a nice frontend to a bunch of Linux kernel features.
