It does :). There is also an ecosystem developing around it, e.g. the xhyve tool: https://github.com/mist64/xhyve CoreOS on xhyve: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-xhyve

Unfortunately it seems that Xhyve cannot connect to the Internet when traffic is routed through OpenVPN. Otherwise I would use it at my job. I tried https://github.com/coreos/coreos-xhyve, https://github.com/ailispaw/docker-root-xhyve and Veertu, and they all won't work. Apparently is a known issue https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/84 ; it might have to do with Hypervisor.framework

This is off-topic and not the same thing, but you should look into xhyve: https://github.com/mist64/xhyve ...and then: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-xhyve https://github.com/ailispaw/boot2docker-xhyve Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9690846

I wrote a quick set of scripts to get CoreOS booting under xhyve as a container host. The defaults will expose SSH and a docker client port and drop you directly into a shell. Some quick getting started info here: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-xhyve#coreos--xhyve Lots of GitHub issues filed for next steps in exploring this technology. Really exciting to see a simple CLI driven virtualization option on OSX. Patches accepted. :)
