Caveats

The macOS version of containerd does not natively support running containers.
You need to install an additional runtime plugin such as nerdbox (not packaged in Homebrew yet)
to run containers on this build of containerd.

To run the Linux native version of containerd in Linux Machine (Lima), execute the following commands:
  brew install lima
  limactl start
