VirtualBox 7.0 Releases With Secure Boot and Full VM Encryption Support
|
|
======
|
|
VirtualBox 7.0 is a big upgrade since its last major update. Some nice advancements!
|
|
|
|
![VirtualBox 7.0 Releases With Secure Boot and Full VM Encryption Support][1]
|
|
|
|
A big upgrade for VirtualBox. This release is pretty interesting because we haven't seen a major update in recent years.
|
|
|
|
For those unfamiliar with VirtualBox, it is a virtualization software developed by [Oracle][2].
|
|
|
|
With the launch of VirtualBox 7.0, many new features have been added.
|
|
|
|
Let's take a look at some of the most crucial ones.
|
|
|
|
### VirtualBox 7.0: What's New?
|
|
|
|
![virtualbox 7.0][3]
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox 7.0 is a helpful upgrade. There are icon updates, theme improvements, and some key highlights, including:
|
|
|
|
* A new utility to show performance statistics for running guests.
|
|
* Secure boot support.
|
|
* Full VM encryption support (via CLI).
|
|
* Reworked new virtual machine wizard.
|
|
|
|
#### Full VM Encryption via CLI
|
|
|
|
Virtual Machines (VM) can now be fully encrypted, but only through the command-line interface.
|
|
|
|
This also includes the config logs and saved states.
|
|
|
|
As of now, users can encrypt their machines only through the command-line interface, and different methods are to be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
#### New Resource Monitor Utility
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The new utility lets you monitor performance statistics like CPU, RAM usage, disk I/O, and more. It would list the performance stats for all the running guests.
|
|
|
|
Not the most attractive addition, but useful.
|
|
|
|
#### Improved Theme Support
|
|
|
|
The support for themes has been improved on all platforms. The native engine is used on Linux and macOS, and on Windows, a separate implementation is in place.
|
|
|
|
#### Support for Secure Boot
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox now supports Secure Boot, enhancing security against malware, viruses, and spyware.
|
|
|
|
It will also prevent a VM from booting up with broken drivers, which is very important for enterprise applications.
|
|
|
|
Users who use operating systems that require a secure boot to run should be able to create VMs easily.
|
|
|
|
#### Other Changes
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox 7.0 is a significant upgrade. So, there are several feature additions and refinements across the board.
|
|
|
|
For instance, the new VM wizard has now been reworked to integrate unattended guest OS installations.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Other improvements include:
|
|
|
|
* Cloud virtual machines can now be added to VirtualBox and controlled as local VMs.
|
|
* The VirtualBox icon has been updated with this release.
|
|
* A new 3D stack has been introduced that supports DirectX 11. It uses [DXVK][6] to provide the same support for non-Windows hosts.
|
|
* Support for virtual TPM 1.2/2.0.
|
|
* Improved mouse handling in multi-monitor setups.
|
|
* Vorbis is the default audio codec for audio recording.
|
|
|
|
You can review the [release notes][7] for additional information.
|
|
|
|
If you were looking for enhanced features, such as better theme support, encryption features, secure boot support, and similar feature additions, VirtualBox 7.0 is a nice upgrade.
|
|
|
|
💬 *What do you think about the upgrade? Would you use the newer version or stick to the older version for your VMs for now?*
