I keep debating over spending the time to implement an Apple Virtualization Framework vagrant provider. Maybe I'll get around to it after I unbury myself from the rest of my self imposed side projects.


This would be very welcome. I had hopes that Veertu would provide this (they used Hypervisor.framework at the time) but they pivoted away from regular VM usage before it ever eventuated.

With the current state of Vbox on Arm it would be good to have a reliable free/cheap alternative to Parallels or VMWare for vagrant use.


cloud-init and multipass made me forget all about vagrant


I second multipass, it is pretty cool if your target is Ubuntu. I think it is closer to "Docker for Ubuntu VMs" than Vagrant though.

In the latest releases hey are dropping support for native virtualization on mac and moving to QEMU only. I my experience the QEMU backend has not been as stable as the hyperkit one, but YMMV as usual.
