I ran into issues following the DevOps Pre-Requisite Course on the final part of setting up a lab, in the course it tells you to use Oracle VirtualBox to install centos red hat VM. As I have Apple Silicon chip on my mac os I can’t choose red hat 64 bit, the only option I have is oracle Linux which I have chosen but then when the machine got powered I wasn’t able to follow on the course as I was seeing different things. Attached is a screen-shot. What is the soultion to be able to follow on?
While Virtualbox 7.1 is “supposed” to work for AS Macs, it still doesn’t work very well. Only certain images work, and most do not. It does not really work with vagrant to speak of, even if it no longer errors out if you try. I don’t recommend it yet; Oracle needs to get more of the bugs out.
Instead, I’d recommend using Multipass instead, since it actually works. This will restrict you to using Ubuntu images, but until Oracle gets its act together, your options are limited.
If you must use a Redhat flavored distribution, you can use VMWare Workstation, which you can use with vagrant. Here’s a tutorial on how to set this up.
