    VirtualBox only supports the x86 platform, so the default installation instructions for Vagrant does not work
    on Apple silicon. Thankfully Vagrant has a [VMWare Provider](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers/vmware)
    (more on providers [here](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers)), and so if I can get VMWare running on
    my M1 MacBook, I should be able to run Vagrant as well!

    These are my notes during figuring this out.

    # Get the VMWare Tech Preview released in September 2021!
    We are in luck, as VMWare released this just a few weeks ago.
    - See [their blog entry][1]
    - register on their site to get an account
    - download and install

    # Installed VMWare provider
    - Followed instructions https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers/vmware
    - [Installed Vagrant vmware Utility](https://www.vagrantup.com/vmware/downloads)

    # Setup basic Ubuntu image (failed)
    ```
    vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64
    $ vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop
    Vagrant encountered an unexpected communications error with the
    Vagrant VMware Utility driver. Please try to run the command
    again. If this error persists, please contact [email protected]
