Which is the best one to use, and what are the pros > virtualization on OpenSUSE 13.2 one of them is non-free (VMWare > Okay, there are four different packages that can be used for Leading/bleeding edge for Linux only solutions… Should strongly look into Docker. ![]() The price is right, and can be used for personal (Desktop) use, maybe very, very small SMB with little risk. VirtualBox is IMO “OK.” I’m suspicious (perhaps unnecessarily) whenever important (to me) pieces are perpetually in “beta” mode, but the technology is fairly solid without too many issues. So, if you can afford it, IMO VMware can be a leading choice for all levels of expertise (beginner to enterprise). Rock solid, VMware has been doing virtualization longer than just about anyone and fine tunes its User tools. VMware is probably by far the leading commercial (costs) choice. The fundamental core technology is integrated into the mainline Linux kernel and you have your choice of User tools, the primary and most common choice (but by no means only) management suite is libvirt (vm manager, virt install, vm install). ![]() KVM is my preferred choice running on a Linux host like openSUSE. Xen for instance is the strongly preferred choice if you intend to migrate a VM to Amazon. The reasons for choosing a virtualization technology may vary, for instance a primary reason for choosing one is the ability to migrate/clone a VM to the cloud. Using vboxmanage, you can easily enable nested virtualization on your VirtualBox VM.I personally have stayed away from Xen because it’s been my impression there have been more issues. There is a special tool included with VirtualBox that allows enabling the nested virtualization flag. ![]() For the majority who may be using Intel processors, you will need to enable nested virtualization settings from the VirtualBox command-line. With VirtualBox, you can enable nested virtualization using the VirtualBox GUI or using the command-line. If you are not as familiar with Oracle VirtualBox, especially if you have mainly had your hands on VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, you may not be as familiar with or have ever configured nested virtualization inside of VirtualBox. Enabling Nested Virtualization in VirtualBox Or, what about both? First, let’s take a look at how to enable nested virtualization in VirtualBox. You can use either nested VirtualBox inside of ESXi or ESXi inside VirtualBox. Nested virtualization with VirtualBox can go either way. Let’s take a look at VirtualBox nested virtualization with VMware ESXi. VirtualBox is a freely available hypervisor that provides many great options, including a broad range of compatible host operating systems and the ability to run many different guest operating systems. Oracle VirtualBox is an extremely popular enthusiast hypervisor that many use to learn various technologies and get their feet wet using virtualization technologies. ![]()
