Description

Develop virtualization solutions utilizing a minimalistic hypervisor that operates without the need for any external kernel extensions. The hypervisor offers C APIs, allowing for interaction with virtualization technologies directly in user space, eliminating the necessity of writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). Consequently, the applications designed with this framework can be distributed through the Mac App Store. Leverage this framework to create and manage hardware-accelerated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your authorized, sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor simplifies the concept of virtual machines as processes and treats virtual processors as threads. It is important to note that the Hypervisor framework relies on hardware capabilities to virtualize resources efficiently. For Apple silicon, this entails support for the Virtualization Extensions, while for Intel-based Macs, it necessitates systems equipped with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This ensures the framework is optimized for performance and security across various hardware configurations.

Description

VirtualBox is a robust virtualization tool compatible with x86 and AMD64/Intel64 architectures, designed for both corporate and personal use. This software not only boasts an extensive array of features and high performance tailored for business clients but also stands out as the sole professional-grade option that is freely accessible as Open Source Software under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. For those looking for a comprehensive introduction, refer to the section labeled "About VirtualBox." Currently, VirtualBox operates on various host systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris, while offering compatibility with a wide range of guest operating systems, such as multiple versions of Windows (from NT 4.0 to Windows 10), DOS/Windows 3.x, various Linux distributions, Solaris, OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD. The development of VirtualBox is ongoing, with regular updates contributing to an expanding catalog of features and supported guest operating systems. Additionally, it is the result of a collaborative effort within a vibrant community, supported by a committed company, ensuring its continuous improvement and relevance in the virtualization landscape.
