Description
Hi, just dropping this in here:
https://youtu.be/Bz5YSYJ8pzo?t=140
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/vzmacguestprovisioningoptions
The options that this API exposes could be exposed as options inside the macOS VM setup menu. And then the VM could be provisioned with this API so that the user doesn't have to go through the normal macOS setup assistant.
Could this also make fully headless macOS VM creation possible?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Apple Virtualization documentation and the existing macOS VM setup menu. Determine which provisioning options need to be exposed and how headless creation would fit the current VM flow. Done means the requested options can provision a macOS VM without the normal setup assistant, including a clear answer on headless creation.
