Practical Workflows with Mac VMs | Chris Chapman at MacAD.UK 2024

Let’s talk through and demonstrate some practical uses of macOS virtualised as an admin and developer. In this session, Chris Chapman from MacStadium creates an OS for development, loads its apps and other build tools, package it, and tests it out.
In this talk, you’ll see examples of using local virtualisation tools to build working environments. Chris then packages and distributes these environments to the cloud and version-controlled repositories, going over the ins and outs of using them in various locations and what tools are most effective. This provides a good day in the life workflow for admins, DevOps engineers, and developers using macOS virtualisation.
