![]() Oh also, it would be fantastic if it worked on Windows and Mac. So like I was saying - something that is self contained and doesn't have the ability to side-load any other OS except for the one provided. Then we can effectively ban vmware fusion and have people use a distribution of VM until we can get VMs on azure ready and approved. My thought was to take this one step further and have something they can spin up locally, which is "official", has all needed precautions in place, and is usable. ![]() ![]() This isn't ideal from many perspectives but primarily from a security one. But, while I was locking down and hardening the VM I was thinking to myself "well, if this is TOO locked down then they will simply fire up their own VM of whatever they want. As a stop gap someone asked if I could put together a VM to roll out - sure, I can do that. I'm in the process of getting linux spun up on azure environment but these things take time (I was hired about 3 months ago and getting the correct accesses is daunting at this point). They are installing it and using it to create linux VMs for themselves to use. Users can request vmware fusion as a legit software request at my company. I was thinking the same thing - this should be able to be done programmatically. Hopefully this helps someone else and thanks for all the input! On mac this works similarly but I have not created a deployment package for it yet. ![]() The qemu folder can be cleaned up as well because there a number of unneeded files which are in place to cover all architectures. On the target machine simply move the quem structure and the qcow file to somewhere local and run qemu-system-x86_64 (assuming that's your architecture) with the necessary switches/flags/options needed in an administrator prompt, powershell or cmd. ![]() The only admin privileges needed (on windows) are running the actual commandĬreate VM in your favorite platform, I used vmware fusion on macĪfter that is created you can 7zip them for transport.Īlong with the qcow2 files you need to "install" qemu on a windows machine and grab the folder structure under c:/program files/qemu it requires no "installation" on windows, just the folder structureģ. ![]()
