A new virtualization app for OS X called Veertu landed within the last week.
This one is the first to ship via the App Store, using Apple's newish
Hypervisor framework, which basically provides applications with an interface
to Intel VT-x in user space. It's a free install that includes installing from
their library (which includes a Ubuntu 14.04 net install, Ubuntu 15.10 Desktop,
and several other distros), with an in-app purchase that lets you install your
own VM from ISO or DVD for $40.

I was curious how it would run, and specifically if and how well Juju worked.
The base install went flawlessly. Installed Juju from the ppa and bootstrapped
the local provider. And everything just works. Well, mostly.
Juju works. Veertu lacks a bit of polish on the user functionality. The VM
window doesn't support copy and paste or scrollback yet, but I can ssh into the
machine just fine. Routing to the juju machines needs an iptable rule but
connecting to a juju machine from your own machine should work just fine.
It's far from mature (compared to Vagrant and company) but this has some real
potential. Resource uses looks good so far, too.
Anyone else taken a look at this yet?
