Excellent news!

Our team has been having to run older x86 Macs for a number of years just so that we can continue running certain images that are not available for arm64.

—-platform linux/amd64 and similar arguments didn’t work?
My first thought too. Especially in Docker for Mac the amd64 containers mostly just work.
Not with native-code performance, though.
Surprisingly close. I’ve had plenty of intel apps run faster on an M1 Mac than a recent intel MacBook.
amd64 Docker containers on arm64 run under much slower QEMU emulation, not fast Rosetta.
colima + Rosetta2 is also a thing now that more or less makes x86-64 containers a complete non-issue
