Kubernetes may be coming to Apple's OS container project
Kubernetes on a MacBook? Could be sooner than you think...
Apple said a WSL competitor and Kubernetes are on the open source Container project’s roadmap.
Eric Ernst, an engineering manager at Apple who was previously a Kata Containers technical lead at Intel, discussed the future of containers on Mac at the open source FOSDEM conference in February.
The open-source project Container – "naming is hard" Ernst said – was announced in June 2025 as a tool to "create and run Linux containers as lightweight virtual machines on your Mac," according to Apple’s GitHub repo.
