Oracle VirtualBox 7.2 introduces support for macOS on Apple Silicon and Microsoft Windows for Arm
Oracle has released VirtualBox 7.2, the latest version of its high-performance, cross-platform virtualization software.
This update introduces several new features and enhancements designed to improve user experience and expand compatibility.
Check out the blog for the key highlights of what’s new in VirtualBox 7.2.
Oracle VirtIO Drivers 2.3 now support Microsoft Windows Server 2025
Oracle VirtIO Drivers 2.3 for Microsoft Windows are now generally available. They are paravirtualized (PV) drivers for Microsoft Windows guests that are running on Oracle Linux KVM on the x86_64 processor architecture.
Oracle Linux customers using the Oracle VirtIO Drivers for Microsoft Windows can benefit from improved performance for network and block (disk) devices on Microsoft Windows guests.

Beyond EH frame and frame pointers: The technical underpinnings of SFrame
Stack traces are essential for debugging and performance insights, but traditional methods can be heavy. SFrame delivers accurate traces with minimal overhead, easy tool integration, and real-time analysis—making it ideal for profiling and live debugging.
Read the blog post to find out more.
XFS - Block atomic writes in UEK8
Block atomic writes ensure that data written to a storage device is never left incomplete, even in the event of an OS crash or unexpected power loss. This guarantees applications always read a consistent copy of the data on disk, eliminating the need for inefficient logging methods.
The blog has the details.
Improve virtio-scsi device performance using iothread-vq-mapping
The virtio-scsi device now supports true multiqueue in QEMU 10.0.0, similar to virtio-blk. With the new iothread-vq-mapping feature, you can map multiple I/O threads to virtqueues, reducing CPU bottlenecks and improving scalability for I/O-intensive SMP VMs.
Read the blog to learn how to set up a VM with the new iothread-vq-mapping feature for virtio-scsi devices and explore its different use cases. We also share results from testing with the fio tool, showing how this feature can boost performance. |
