This release adds an experimental support for Apple's Virtualization.framework aka vz.

limactl start template://experimental/vz

Pros:

  • Supports faster filesystem sharing (virtiofs)
  • (Coming soon) Supports faster emulation for running Linux/x86_64 ELF binaries on ARM (Rosetta 2)

Cons:

  • No support for legacy BIOS
  • The boot log is not available in serial.log
  • The source code of Virtualization.framework does not seem available

Using Virtualization.framework with Lima needs macOS 13.0 or later.
