Initially with emulated Intel code here and then (when Oracle released its 19c database software for ARM) with UTM as a wrapper for the QEMU hypervisor here. In the meantime another possibility came up since Oracle released its type…

Running Intel x86-64 VMs with an Oracle DB on Apple Silicon (ARM)

Since Apple moved to its own processor type (Apple Silicon, i.e. ARM architecture), it’s no longer possible to run VMs based on Intel x86-64 on Apple ARM (e.g. on Apple MacBook Pros with M1 or M2 processors). I.e.…
