The VirtualBox organization is the home of Oracle's popular virtualization software running on many operating systems using AMD/Intel/ARM processors. It allows running a broad range of operating systems in a virtual machine (VM) with a wide selection of virtual hardware options. VirtualBox offers a user-friendly graphical user interface (without excluding the possibility to run VMs in the background), flexible networking features and is especially strong with interactive workloads.

It is largely open-source code, inviting community contributions in all areas. A limited amount of functionality is provided as part of the Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack which is closed source. If you have questions about the licensing details or evaluating the Extension Pack in a commercial context, see the Licensing FAQ.
