Which virtualization platform is better?
-
I would like the answer to this one as well, I have created my first VM in Azure, I was going to do the Hyper-V but the storage (SATA) and the Memory 8 GB RAM just not sure if it will run more than one VM
-
@Gilbert-Choo , I hope all is well. Are you planning on running the virtualization software ON TOP of your Linux distro on a laptop or desktop? OR, are you going to use a Server Host to create and run VM's?

hi @Adam-Gordon looking to run it as my lab as I enter into cybersecurity..
I am running windows 10 now.. So I will be running type 2 virtualization if i am not wrong..
-
I have Virtual box and VMware on my system. I like VMware more just because it behaves better. Not to mention i think the settings are easier to adjust and understand. There's less clutter.

@Logan-Sims which version of VMWare do you run?
-
@Gilbert-Choo , Yes, you would install a hypervisor such as VMware player or Workstation and/or VirtualBox and run it ON TOP of Windows 10. However, Windows 10 has Hyper-V built in depending on the version you are running, and you can use Hyper-V as well.

@Gilbert-Choo VMware Workstation 16 player 16.1.0

I use VMWare (Fusion,Player,Workstation) and Virtualbox quite a bit, and I'll say that Fusion is great, but can be too abstract when it comes to what you can see/control. Virtualbox is strong tech especially for the price.
-
Honestly I'd go with Virtualbox simply because in terms of value, it's very difficult to beat and gets the job done.

If your running Windows 10, Hyper-V FTW!
