By default, Vagrant’s open-source heart beats best with VirtualBox—a free, cross-platform hypervisor. VirtualBox is accessible, but its performance, stability, and compatibility with advanced features (like nested virtualization or large memory backends) are often inadequate for production-like workloads.
