QEMU can run with Hypervisor.framework with:

	const resourceGroup = new azurenative.resources.ResourceGroup("resource-group");

	// Define the scope where the role will be applied
	const scope = `/subscriptions/${process.env.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}`;

	// Create a custom role definition for managing Container Apps
	export const role = new azurenative.authorization.RoleDefinition(
	'role',
	{
	scope: scope,

	create table if not exists migrations (
	key text CONSTRAINT pkey PRIMARY KEY
	);

	create or replace function idempotent(migration_name text,code text) returns void as $$
	begin
	if exists (select key from migrations where key=migration_name) then
	raise notice 'Migration already applied: %', migration_name;
