John reported that new MacOS systems with M1/M2 chips are not compatible with container images that were generated with x86 processors.

The presumed error is that if we run our existing images on a Mac with M1/M2 chip, it will fail. We need to confirm this failure first, then decide if it's possible to provide a fix given the context and constraints on this project.

Step 1: Confirm this is an issue by lauching an Mac M1/M2 instance on AWS and testing our images.
Step 2: Assuming it fails, decided next coarse of action. Options include: a) Test building images with M1/M2 chips and provide additional AMIs for those systems. (Limitation here is that all we can do is mimic these Macs on AWS). b) Provide notice on the website about this limitation and provide instructions for building from scratch.
