Episode 426: Virtualization in 2025

Mac Admins Podcast ·

2025/08/27

Apple Silicon provides so many different opportunities with virtualisation, but many of us still miss the intel days when we could snapshot and use serial numbers to automate device enrollment. Tools like Tart provide opportunities to build workflows that allow us to configure and enhance the way we virtualise macOS.

The MacAdmins Community has a long, vibrant history of solving problems together usually through open source projects that become essential tools in our workflows. Whatever challenge you’re facing, chances are there’s already a project, or a group of passionate people, tackling something similar. But with so many options, the path forward isn’t always clear. Do you adopt an existing open source tool? Invest in a polished, commercial solution? Or roll up your sleeves and build something totally new

2025/08/05

Macs are safe - they don’t get malware. We used to hear this all the time and whilst Apple has done a wonderful job of building a secure by design operating system, there are still threats out there we need to protect ourselves against. It’s also no surprise that macOS is not Windows. And it’s further and further away from behaving like UNIX these days. So how do we know what to look for, and where to even go looking for it? Jaron Bradley from Jamf Threat Labs joins us to talk about his new book:

2025/07/15

What does it mean to be a Mac Admin in the year of jobs 2025? Long gone are the days of having to explain that no, that isn’t something that macs can integrate with. Instead we have all had to become experts in so many different silos within the modern IT organisation, from Identity, Security, Networking and Certificates. Being able to embrace and understand these concepts has also led to opportunities in career growth. Gone are the days where hoping for a small windowless room and the opportunity
