| # Summary | |
| A few notes I took to see if I could use MacOS as Hypevirsor in a similar fashion to Linux | |

| brew install qemu (For controlling Hypervisor Framework) | |
| brew install cdrtools (For making cloud init iso's) | |
| http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/download.xhtml (For customer tap based networking) |
