macOS in a Docker Container for Development
summary
MacStadium builds a product called Orca that runs unmodified macOS images (Mojave, Catalina) inside Docker-wrapped pods on genuine Apple hardware with a thin custom Linux/Kubernetes layer, letting teams declare cores, RAM and image and spin machines via CLI, REST API or UI. The system exposes dashboards, integrates with Terraform/Ansible, and supports per-cluster orchestration so a single REST call can control an entire data center. Public beta is live, limited capacity, general release planned for summer.
