This way AWS customers will be able to benefit from fast local SSDs on the machines. Right now a EC2 Mac Instances is booted from a EBS volume which is fast but is not as fast as a local SSD. Running Tart VMs of the EBS volume totally works but for advanced integrators it might be reasonable to mount a local SSD as a disk to a VM and run their workloads on it.
There are a few caveats to this use case:
tartbinary should be run as root to access disks in/dev.PS I tried but failed miserably to find a way to escalate permissions to open a file descriptor for the disk with
rootpermission out of Tart process running as a user.
