Background
In a previous post, I discussed how to replace Docker Desktop with Minikube and Hyperkit on older AMD64 architecture machines running macOS. However, with the introduction of the new M1/M2 machines that use ARM64 architecture CPUs, Hyperkit is not compatible with these new machines. To work around this issue, I have replaced Docker Desktop with Podman on macOS M1/M2 machines, and used the Kind to create a Kubernetes local cluster.
macOS M1/M2 ARM64 Architecture
macOS M1/M2 is the latest line of Apple’s Macintosh computers which are based on the ARM64 architecture. The ARM64 architecture is a new type of processor architecture that is gaining popularity in the computing world. Compared to the traditional x86 architecture, which is used in most desktop and laptop computers, the ARM64 architecture is designed to be power-efficient and optimized for mobile devices.
