* The Docker for Mac application does not use `docker-machine` to provision that VM; but rather creates and manages it directly.
* At installation time, Docker for Mac provisions an HyperKit VM based on Alpine Linux, running Docker Engine. It exposes the docker API on a socket in `/var/tmp/docker.sock`.
