#virtualization — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #virtualization, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I've been experimenting with VMs on using . Two VMs, both on Apple's hypervisor, one with QEMU, the other with Apple's backend. Both are running Apache with PHP stack, boot with less than 200MB RAM in use, running Debian's cloud kernel.

    The VM with QEMU boots in about 4 seconds, the full Apple stack VM boots in about 2 seconds. A full blown Linux environment with a container-like startup time.

  2. [ Blog ] Is the VMware 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?

    With the release of VMware VCF 9, many organizations are now facing a key question: "Is the VMware VCF 9 upgrade worth the cost and complexity?"

    VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9 appears to be a significant strategic decision with a number of potential benefits, especially for organizations rviv.ly/HfSzFp

  3. OK, so I took the plunge and finally (after ~7 years of thinking about it and being distracted by other things) started playing around with OpenStack and kolla-ansible.

    The quick start guide makes it sound simple and it really is. After some fiddling with the proper kolla-ansible versions I had a working installation (single node, but still impressive).

    Encountered some bugs on the way (and reported them), which is to be expected by using a not-yet-released version (stable/2026.1 git branch).

    Next step is trying to find documentation on how to use it to do a multi-machine installation where things like storage get important and interesting.

    I'll keep you posted. If you do not hear from me again, you know why... :-)

  9. VMware Workstation Pro 26H1 is now live!

    The virtualization program, VMware Workstation Pro, has been updated with a brand new version, 26H1, which was released yesterday. This version of VMware Workstation brings several feature additions, as well as general improvements and bug fixes to improve your virtualization experience and to make this program more secure.

    VMware Workstation Pro used to be a 32-bit application that provided compatibility for systems that are still using 32-bit hosts, especially on Windows. Now, with the release of 26H1, it has migrated to a 64-bit only application, which presents you with optimized binaries and components for 64-bit.

    VMware Workstation now supports the following systems (guest and host):

    Guest operating systemsHost operating systemsUbuntu 26.04 LTS
    Fedora 43
    Fedora 44
    SUSE Linux Enterprise 16
    openSUSE 16.0
    FreeBSD 15.0Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
    Fedora 43
    Fedora 44
    SUSE Linux Enterprise 16 GA
    openSUSE 16.0

    Additionally, the following changes have been made:

    • You can now easily take a look at both the creation date and the last power on date, which will make it easier for you to identify when the virtual machine was first created and when it was powered on.
    • VMware Workstation Pro now supports remote connection to ARM-based ESX hosts, which enables basic virtual machine operations on those hosts.
    • On folder tabs, you can now easily take a look at notes for each virtual machine.
    • The saved credential format has been updated so that you can easily identify encrypted virtual machines and remote servers in the host’s credentials manager.
