ANNOUNCING: DOCKER VMM PUBLIC BETA

Summary from the TLDR DevOps newsletter

Docker has released a public beta of Docker VMM, a new first-party virtualization layer built in-house, available in Docker Desktop v4.86 for Mac and Windows. The new engine replaces the third-party VMM Docker Desktop previously relied on, and promises faster container startup, better file I/O, and smarter memory management that returns RAM to the host when containers are idle. Windows users can opt in via Settings, General, and the Docker VMM option. General availability is targeted for the end of October, when Docker VMM becomes the default engine for new installs across Mac, Windows, and Linux.
