I'm amazed this is even possible! Running so many hypervisors and so many virtual machines at the same time? x86 and x64 and ARM all at the same time? Impossible some may say.... well.... let's see shall we?

Learning about Virtual Machines, Type 1 and Type 2 Hypervisors and basic virtualization can really change your life.

[@firestormsentry80]

Excellent demonstration, Mr. Bombal. An instructor once told me that MacBook M1 was not a virtualization-friendly architecture, so buying an M1 laptop would not be conducive to VM work. This video was a needed demonstration for me to see that M2 chips, if not the M1s, at least attempt virtualization for some operating systems. Since this is a demo of an M2 system, perhaps the M2 might be more acceptable than an M1 for VM work? P.S. Thank you for the nostalgia trip, '98 (11:07-11:12).

[@konstantinosalvertos8206]

I have managed to run Virtual Box and Hyper-V at the same time on my 11th gen i7 Intel processor without any issues. Also I have managed with my Threadripper to run nested virtualization. HV #1 was KVM/QEMU and then Hyper-V on HV #2 (the virtual Hypervisor) to run all sorts of VM's successfully. Considering speed and emulation that is the difference between a CISC and a RISC Processor (Threadrippers, intel and amd CPU's are CISCs and arm are RISCs) when it comes to speed. Finally UTM is just a shiny QEMU. KVM/QEMU in case anyone is wondering is the champion of Hypervisors that runs on Linux. It gives you the ability to do pretty much anything (Fortune 500 companies use KVM/QEMU on their infrastructure with Red Hat Linux). KVM/QEMU even gives you the ability to pass through your H/W directly to a VM (great if you want a dedicated VM to connect a USB stick and make sure you won't get any viruses, ransomware etc. to your main system or make a virtual Gaming PC like mine).

[@iblackfeathers]

you could also break down the paid versions into different categories: pay once and subscription. parallels pro version is an annual fee of $120, while the standard version is a one-time fee of $100. not a fan of everything heading to subscription models, that i think (generally speaking) paying once should be selected by users more often… to encourage developers to not jump strictly right into that pay model. this gives users more choices to feasibly use their software because it is diminishing returns on the end of the user having to commit their money to so many subscriptions already.

[@brents2500]

[@SaxaphoneMan42]

Interesting concept I suppose, but I'm not sure what the use case would be to using multiple hypervisors at the same time, when you could just use the one that fits your needs and spin up multiple VMs from that.

[@davidbombal]

I think in most cases you would be correct. However, if you prefer using Parallels for example, but want to interact with x86 or x64 then you would either have to switch everything to UTM or just spin up a UTM x86/x64 while using Parallels for ARM. I've personally had times when I wished I could spin up multiple hypervisors for testing, but wasn't able to on intel.

[@okjosh]

Making KZbin videos on extreme virtualization.

[@LearningandTechnology]

One use-case is for doing Data Centre training. You can run a hypervisor that runs Type 1 VMs and then run the Type 2 VMs on those. It won’t be fast… but it does allow for Virtualization the Data Centre tools and learn them. It’s like nested dolls 😂

🤯mind blown. So far I have tried the free version of VMWare Fusion 13 to run Windows 11 and I am impressed. I'm open to trying Parallels, but I can't justify paying for it at the moment.

[@Tech-geeky]

Parallels charges too much... However i think more companies will go the subscription route and the offshoot would be "we can provide our customers with more feature" Give then an incentive to pay,, But it's still too pricy. Although its the only products that offers 3D acceleration on Apple silicon natively, while other do OpenGL, as they have always done One could argue that' increases performance..

[@Abedoss]

Thanks David, it's the only video I found that point directly to what's important, without diving deep in one of the hypervisors and leaving others. And that's what I want as what you may call a power-user, that was sufficient for me. And I was wondering about the state of same hypervisors on an Intel Mac, I hope you at least note about it in a next video.

[@davidbombal]

You can use VMware Fusion for free on Intel (commercial use) and you can buy Parallels. In my tests (and from what others have told me), Virtualbox is not as good as VMware or Parallels. I personally use the paid version of VMware Fusion and have found it to be great. In this video I show a bunch of VMs on Intel Mac: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3m3ZZ6naJuDe5Y

I've used VirtualBox in the past and found it to fit my needs. It's been more than 2 years since I last did anything with virtualization, so the other day, I decided I would give it another go.

It wasn't as easy to install as it used to be, but with a couple of modifications, I was able to get VB-7 up and running again, just fine on my Linux host.

Like you said you could only get small Linux kernels to run. You can do all of this with ease on ESX and VMware Workstation. I've done it myself, multiple VMs with different architectures and no issues. The only roadblock with doing this on a laptop is you eventually run out of cores, but it really depends what you are doing on each VM. You just need the right tools for the job.

[@themichaelpotter]

What versions of ESX and VMware workstation are you using for the ARM architecture?

[@chrysun9891]

running VMWare on a x64 arch host?

[@themichaelpotter]

What I'm saying is that can't "do all of this with ease on ESX and VMware Workstation" because ESX and VMware Workstation only run on Intel architectures. Unless you're talking about running ESX on a Raspberry Pi, but even then you can't run a MacOS virtual machine on ARM unless it's an M1/2 Mac. 🤷🏼‍♂

I was going to ask how you were running ARM on VMware ESXi and Workstation. And running Apple VMs. Thanks for the extra clarification Michael.

to run 64X on virtualBox you have to enable Virtualization in Bios (as i remember there are 2 options you have to enable - one of them is Virtualization).

[@DJNuckChorris]

As a working professional in cybersecurity I would strongly recommend against the ARM architecture Macs. When it comes to the software you try to run after installing your Aarm64 OS, most tools have not been coded to work on ARM. X86 based CPU’s just work, no emulation or aarm64 software builds needed.

[@davidbombal]

When the M1 MacBook Pro was first released last year I came to the same conclusion. However, I just recently tried making the switch again and I haven’t ran into any issues. All of the tools I use for professional cybersecurity pen testing/appsec testing install and run much better on M1.

[@PurpleTeamer]

@@MarkSowell I passed my OSCP and OSCE exam on a cheap lenovo x230 running kali on as virtualbox guest.

[@autohmae]

My guess is: it's a new system architecture (not instruction set of course) designed from scratch with virtualization in mind. And the software as well. The underlying software of UTM is Qemu, which supports snapshots, so I would be surprised if it's not created at some point.

[@mgjk]

Great piece on M2... was just deciding on whether or not to ask work for an M2 or old Intel... going for the M2 as what you've shown is certainly good enough for my needs. I never had a problem running x86 and x64 architectures on Intel Mac or running VMWare and Virtualbox simultaneously. It makes networking... interesting, but even that works. It's not possible to virtualize a non-native CPU, the instruction set and architecture need to be emulated. Is there some breakthrough I haven't heard of?

[@shaunpugh3287]

Thanks David. This is exactly the type of video I was looking for with regards to virtualisation on Apple Silicon. I have an M1 Air and I'm now finding myself having to set up a test/demo lab but with some Windows servers thrown in there. I could run some of this in Azure but I want some of it running locally. It's been a while since I've looked at running VMs on Mac and I was thinking do I get a Mac with more RAM as 16GB is limiting for VMs, but I see it's probably not the way to go for my workloads. I'll invest in a NUC or similar instead as the VM lab as this seems like the most compatible and cost-effective option.

[@GianniCostanzi]

This is what I did, I’ve made my own home lab on an Intel Nuc 10 with 32GB of ram (in the process of upgrading to 64GB), so I could move from my old Intel Mac to a new M1 MacBook Pro 😊 Intel Nuc with Proxmox VE is amazing for me, I’ve used it to build a Kubernetes+CEPH cluster to study for CKA and it works like a sharm. It has quite poor gpu but Fedora 37 Workstation and windows 10 VMs works very well for what I need.

[@photoniccannon2117]

When I first got my 8GB M1 MacBook Pro, I threw UTM onto it and got a 4GB virtual machine going, then started up iOS simulators on XCode at the same time side-by-side. Threw swap usage through the roof (multiple VSCode windows, nodeJS services for React, among other things were running simultaneously), but the system remained very responsive and didn't miss a beat despite having higher swap usage than I had RAM in the entire system. It did lag very slightly when switching apps (running a browser at the same time would also cause it to hang slightly when switching tabs), but aside from this, there were hardly any other signs that the system was being pushed this hard. I was quite impressed with how well it managed such a ludicrous workload on such a tight RAM setup (however suboptimal it was on an 8GB rig). Definitely going to upgrade eventually, but it's far from unusable.

[@MrChrisLia]

One issue I have with parallels is you need to pay for the upgrade to keep things working smoothly. For example my kernel on kali linux isn’t supported by parallels 17, so I lost the copy and paste function between 2 VMs. Apparently it’s fixed in parallels 18, but that’s a $70 upgrade to get copy and paste back

[@alanhoff89]

No, you're paying $70 to upgrade an old product into a new one, having your copy/paste functionality back is a side effect.

It will get more interesting once GPU paravirtualization (vGPU) becomes a thing on these new M2 silicones and beyond. The real power will be in segmenting and partitioning each GPU core to their own virtualised OS and have them "live-switch" (on passthrough) for even more power and resources given to a VM. If consumers don't know about a thing, they won't demand it in their computers; but once you show them the possibilities, anything is possible. We shouldn't be "surprised this is possible" we should demand that it should be done! I hope future virtualisation trends will bridge the gap between using the architectures that perform the best for a particular task and democratise favoured operating use scenarios or edge cases. Everyone is as individual as how they use a computer, why not give us the tools to be able to use the computer how we see fit! I hope nVidia, AMD, Intel and any other GPU manufacturer heeds this call -- to open their architectures more for endless possibilities!

I retired and so all of my computing is at home, for fun and entertainment (or education) and my question is: why would I use Virtual Machines? VMware was used in a major way at my previous company where mostly the company had powerful servers in their own computer rooms and we all had access to the set of Virtual Machines set up by SysAdmin, plus we could create our own, plus we could use VMs on our workstations. I never used these, I did advanced rendering R&D on my local workstation(s) but I did see some amazing VM capability in use by many coworkers. So I'm thinking maybe overly old fashioned, maybe too simply that on a new powerful machine I'll just set up separate 1TB SSD's with a bootable OS on each drive, and there I would have a Windows and possibly various versions of Linux (I'm getting back into Linux, whereas in the past I used the original Unix Workstations). What would you say is the benefit of using a Hypervisor with multiple VM on my personal machine versus the old-school multiple bootable drives idea? Thanks! I'm asking the question because you seem IMHO to be a true expert. I've always relied on colleagues who had great expertise outside of my personal area of specialization. Cheers!

On x86 disabling hardware acceleration has allowed me to run multiple hypervisors. Also, if Windows is configured with Hyoer-V then virtualbox can use Hyper-V as the virtualzation layer

Hi David, I am considering buying a M3. Does these Tips apply to it?

[@wolfrevokcats7890]

I was avoiding new M1/M2 MacBook because these issues. Do I need to reconsider it for my next laptop purchase?

I have had a different experience. I have AMD Ryzen 5 2500, 16GB DD4 RAM and Windows 11 22H2 as the host. I am able to run Windows ME (x86) - VMware, Windows 8.1 (HyperV), MacOS 10.3 (Qemu PPC) and Ubuntu 20.04LTS (both WSL2 and VirtualBox). I haven't faced any issues as such running all at the same time. I don't know right now how to emulate an ARM architecture, but in the past I had ran a few codes on RISC-V. Edit: But I had an awful experience in installing different architectured operating systems on my friends macbook M1 Pro. I understand how resource heavy and complicated hypervisor setup can be for different architectures.

If you start Virtualbox before kvm/qemu(on mac UTM) then you can run multiple VM software's from my understanding. but KVM with QEMU is much much better in my opinion.

David, you mentioned you liked Parallels, but didn’t really mention any reason why you preferred Parallels over VMfusion. I’m currently using VMfusion, but wanted to see if there was any reason to switch the Parallels. Thanks for the good content.

As I mention in the video, VMWare Fusion on M1/M2 is currently in Tech Preview (and has been for a long time). It's not a final product yet and we don't know if VMware will charge for it, or if it will be free. VMware said that they wouldn't be supporting Windows on Mac (only Linux). Looks like that may have changed since their original announcement - check their announcements. In my experience (which may be different to others), I find that VMware are crippling their free products. VMware Workstation Player is limited compared to Pro. If you are happy with VMware, then there is no major reason to change. There is good and bad in both products. Best is to download both and see which you like.
