Coinciding with the release, VMware implemented support for TPM 2.0 and OpenGL 4.3, along with improvements to VMware Tools on Windows 11. In November 2022, VMware Fusion 13 was released, allowing ARM virtualization on Apple Silicon chips. Īlong with the Mac transition to Apple silicon in 2020, VMware announced plans for Fusion to support the new M-series platform and ARM architecture, releasing a tech preview for M1 chips in September 2021. VMware Fusion 1.0 was released on August 6, 2007, exactly one year after being announced. Much of the underlying technology in VMware Fusion is inherited from other VMware products, such as VMware Workstation, allowing VMware Fusion to offer features such as 64-bit and SMP support. VMware Fusion uses Intel VT present in the Intel Core microarchitecture platform. VMware Fusion, which uses a combination of paravirtualization and hardware virtualization made possible by the Mac transition to Intel processors in 2006, marked VMware's first entry into Macintosh-based x86 virtualization. VMware Fusion can virtualize a multitude of operating systems, including many older versions of macOS, which allows users to run older Mac software that can no longer be run under the current version of macOS, such as 32-bit and PowerPC applications. It allows Macs with Intel or the Apple M series of chips to run virtual machines with guest operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, or macOS, within the host macOS operating system. VMware Fusion is a software hypervisor developed by VMware for macOS systems. **Describe alternatives you've considered**Ĭlear documentation mentioning the architecture issues.C, x86 Assembly, C++ (GUI) Īpple–Intel architecture, Apple M series ( ARM64) 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.
