Beyond Docker: Emulation, Orchestration, and Virtualization in Apple Silicon

Over the last five years, I’ve delved deep into the world of microservices within big Kubernetes clusters. My typical workflow involves crafting solutions locally on my laptop, rigorously testing them, and subsequently committing my alterations to the master branch. Docker had long been my go-to development environment. However, Docker’s recent licensing shift urged me to scout for alternative setups. Moreover, I was on the hunt for a Kubernetes environment compatible with both ARM and x64 images. My requirements were straightforward: <ul> <li>A Docker (or a comparable tool) environment to run and coordinate single containers, complete with <code>docker-compose</code> capabilities.</li> <li>A Kubernetes framework tailored for complex deployments.</li> <li>This environment should be usable with <a href="https://quarkus.io/guides/dev-services?ref=oramind.com" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Quarkus’ dev services</a>. Quarkus has a nifty feature that autonomously equips your Docker or Podman setup with essential tools based on your microservice’s needs. For instance, should you integrate a Kafka dependency in Quarkus, it will fetch and operate a Kafka image via Docker or Podman during the development phase and calibrate your application’s configuration for smooth communication.</li> </ul> <a href="https://itnext.io/beyond-docker-emulation-orchestration-and-virtualization-in-apple-silicon-34011259cd91">Click Here</a>
