> and macOS's Hypervisor Framework

Tangentially and asking the crowd:

What products on the market use macOS's Hypervisor Framework? Virtualbox apparently doesn't [1], but Docker For Mac does [2]...

Edit: and QEMU added experimental support in 2.12 [3], released in April

There was Veertu Desktop, but seems that it's dead project now.

Android Emulator, which is based on a fork of QEMU, has used Hypervisor.framework by default for macOS 10.10+ since version 26.1.0 (last year).

Parallels Desktop Lite is available on the Mac App Store with all of its sandboxing restrictions because it uses Hypervisor.framework: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parallels-desktop-lite/id108...

You can run vagrant boxes and docker-toolbox on top of xhyve, which uses Hypervisor.framework under the hood.
