> Generic container images like the Ubuntu mentioned usually have aarch64 (arm64) support, so running the x86_64 image makes no sense for the presented use-case.

I think the argument here is you can't build your own docker images that you use in production and run them on your mac without emulation (unless your production workload also runs on ARM).

That's a fair point. Emulation implies other limitations too - code compiled on your machine might leverage only the CPU features emulated, which would lead to sub-optimal binaries, not to mention much slower builds.

If you don’t have an environment between your laptop and prod you got more things wrong than this ARM migration.
