NAME

podman-machine-list - List virtual machines

SYNOPSIS

podman machine list [options]

podman machine ls [options]

DESCRIPTION

List Podman managed virtual machines.

Podman on macOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers’ core functionality is tied to the Linux kernel.
