Oracle has released VirtualBox 7.0 - the latest version of the FOSS hypervisor that Oracle acquired along with Sun Microsystems in 2009.
The new version adds remote control of VMs hosted in the cloud and encrypted VMs at least from the command line. The rest of the software’s GUI has been streamlined, with better integration of help and error messages and the ability to easily tweak settings such as the number of CPU cores during VM creation.
The macOS, it no longer uses kernel extensions and relies on the OS's built-in hypervisor tools. This is a bit of an issue as macOS 11 and later deprecated support for third-party kernel extensions because they were deemed “not of Apple.” There's also a preview version for Apple Arm Silicon-based Macs for those who believe the hypen but you need 10.15 or newer is needed.
