Virtual environments affected
- macOS 10.15
(Only macOS instances seem to support nested virtualization currently)
Can this tool be installed during the build?
No, because of the VirtualBox's kernel extension issue: #429
So VirtualBox needs to be preinstalled as in HAXM.
Are you willing to submit a PR?
No
Did you stop any active Virtualbox instances before upgrading?
That was something I forgot to do.
I would also be interested in this! Or at least approving the virtualbox team id kext, which allows folks to install virtualbox themselves.
Is this already supported on Linux then?
No, only macOS instances seem to support nested virtualization currently

Only for macOS though? The Linux issue was closed.

This seems removed on macOS 11.0 instances? 😢
@AkihiroSuda, There is no stable VirtualBox release for macOS Big Sur.
VirtualBox 6.1.16 seems working fine on macOS 11.1 on my local MacBook, though I haven't tested macOS 11.0.
Opened #2999 for Big Sur
FYI, now that the macos-10.15 environment is deprecated, I've switched to macos-12 for my projects and it's working :)
Here are my workflow files:
