In some distributions such as Zorin OS, Solus 3 and Ubuntu releases from 16.04 LTS snap comes as a pre-installed application.

It can easily be installed on any Linux distribution that supports snapd. On Linux, Multipass is available as a snap package. Step 1: Install Multipass On Linux and macOS 1.

With the above knowledge, we are now set to dive into the installation of Multipass. Moreso, it is possible to mount directories of your host system and share files with the VM. When we talk about Virtual Machines (VMs) we always talk about VMware VMs.With Multipass, one can run commands directly into the VM’s shell from your local computer.

VMware has been dominating the x86 virtualization market for years. There are still other vendors out there that also deliver x86 virtualization solutions. One of those is Oracle VirtualBox for example. VirtualBox is a free and open-source hypervisor for x86 virtualization that was originally released by Innotek GmbH in 2007. Sun Microsystems acquired Innotek in 2008 and Oracle bought Sun in 2010. Since then, the product is known as Oracle VirtualBox. VirtualBox is a so-called “Type 2 hypervisor”, which means it runs on top of an operating system such as Windows, Linux or macOS. VMware Workstation for Windows/Linux and VMware Fusion for MacOS are type 2 hypervisors.Ī “Type 1 hypervisor” runs directly on bare metal. KVM and VMware ESXi are examples of type 1 hypervisors. Type 2 hypervisors are often used on workstations or laptops to spin up additional machines with isolated operating systems. Software developers also make frequent use of type 2 hypervisors because they can spin up isolated Dev/Test environments very easily.įor example, you can install Windows on a MacBook inside a type 2 hypervisor. This blogpost will explain how to migrate Virtual Machines from Oracle VirtualBox to VMware Fusion and to VMware ESXi. To test migration from Oracle VirtualBox to VMware ESXi, there is also a server running ESXi 6.7 U3 available: VMware Fusion 11.5.1 is also running on the MacBook Pro: Oracle VirtualBox 6.1 is installed on a MacBook Pro and an Ubuntu 18.04 Virtual Machine is running inside VirtualBox: The environment used to detail the steps required for this migration is fairly straightforward.
