Apple Silicon support

M1 support uses vfkit which is a small binary wrapper which maps command line arguments to the API provided by the macOS virtualization framework. It does this using the go bindings provided by https://github.com/Code-Hex/vz

Lifecycle

The main reason for needing this separate vfkit binary is that when creating VMs with macOS virtualization framework, their lifetime is tied to the process which created them. This is why we need a separate process which will stay alive as long as the VM is needed.
