About Rancher Desktop
Rancher Desktop brings container management and a local Kubernetes environment to the desktop. It is designed for developing and testing workloads on a personal computer.
The macOS distribution runs its supporting environment through a virtual machine. Resource settings help adapt the environment to the machine and project.
