Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
is macbook pro m1 (8Go ram && 256ssd) appropriate to work with docker(especially docker images based on x86 arch) and other devops tools without issues because m1 is Arm arch ?
i need help from specialiste because i wanna buy one if it's good for my perpose
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Apple-Silicon M1:
Apple says every well-behaved ordinary Application (that does not use Virtualization) will run on Apple-Silicon. It will use Rosetta emulation to translate the Intel binary to M1-binary.
Your Apps will run and not crash while being executed on a completely different processor than the one the developer used. This is a truly remarkable feature.
If you are using graphics intensive apps, the workflow that the developer intended and optimized has been changed. Different parts may be assigned to graphics processors and main processors, and certain parts that used Native Intel instructions for speed may now be emulated in a subroutine.
It runs, and you can get your work done, which is what Apple promised and delivered.
--------
Most cross platform development systems, such as Android simulators, DO use Virtualization instructions, and are not currently working on M1 processors.
if the developer is serious about the Apple market, they will already be working on an Apple-Silicon OPTIMIZED version of their App. This version will ultimately contain code for BOTH Intel and Apple-Silicon, packaged up together as a "Universal Binary" and the correct modules for your processor are selected at run-time.

M1 Macs use Rosetta to run Intel based applications and code. Most intel based apps for Mac and Intel based code do work on M1 macs correctly and normally faster than directly on Intel CPUs.
See here: link-> If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support
Rosetta 2 enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for a Mac with an Intel processor.
Intel and ARM are 2 different things however.
The M1 Macs are not currently able to install other operating systems.

is oracle virtual box working on mac pro m1 ship?
Unknown.
Oracle has not disclosed wether they are or are not working on a M1 compatble version at this point.
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20192
Parallels and Vmware are known to be working on an M1 compatible VM.
Parallels VM is able to run the ARM version of Windows at this point.
AFAIK Intel code will not work at all on an M1 Mac at this time (probably never will, but who knows what third party software developers may come up with in the future).
Oops, I was focusing too much on the Docker images and VMs. Thanks for adding the clarifications @Phil0124 & @Grant.
