That’s why I was happy to see that there is a VM environment that works on M1 Macs – UTM. VMWare has pledged an Apple Silicon version of Fusion, but it won’t support Windows virtual machines! There’s still no word on whether the free VirtualBox VM environment will ever be updated to run on Apple Silicon. UPDATE (July 9, 2021): Parallels Desktop now runs on Apple Silicon, a solution that was not available in March of 2021 when this article was first published. UTM (which I believe stands for Universal Turing Machine) is an open source virtual machine environment. While you might be spending most of your time in macOS 11 Big Sur, your job might require you to use Windows-only apps, Perhaps you need a Linux VM for development work. **Describe alternatives you've considered**Ĭlear documentation mentioning the architecture issues.Your shiny and speedy new Apple Silicon Mac is missing something – the ability to run virtual machines. When specifying `bionic64` in your Vagrantfile, and that box does not exist for _your_ architecture, you should be told through an error message. (from a list of enums) when searching for images. Vagrant Cloud should require an `architecture` field for new boxes and let users filter on `amd64` (`x86`?), `arm64`, etc. You cannot filter boxes on Vagrant Cloud by architecture, nor will you get a good error message if one does not run on your provider due to architecture mismatch. Even if they should be able to to get VMWare Fusion playing nicely with Vagrant, the issue of finding boxes that runs on the right provider is left missing. **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**Ī lot of dev … elopers are now on ARM architectures. can be found in the issue, if deemed relevant.
I have no idea how running (a presumed) x86-64 image on ARM would work (if at all), or if Fusion on ARM is only capable of running ARM images on ARM.Īnyone had success with this or has any knowledge to share?
This could of course be because almost every bit in this equation is bleeding edge (or at least pretty fresh):īut it could also be that I simply don’t know how one would use Vagrant on vmware. Vagrant encountered an unexpected communications error with the So I installed Vagrant, the VMWare utilities, the provider and whatnot and could see something happening, but ultimately failing (resulting in this bug report).
Unfortunately, Virtualbox does not run on Apple Silicon (the M1 Macbook), so I thought I was out of luck, until I read that VMWare has its own provider and they just (September) released a Tech Preview of Fusion that runs on Apple Silicon! After seeing the abysmal I/O performance of Docker up close on macOS I decided to give Vagrant a go.
