Security enhancements include a sandboxed vGPU rendering engine, support for Microsoft virtualization based security, a Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM), secure boot options and, for Pro users, the ability to create and manage encrypted VMs. The move is in part to future proof Fusion, as Apple is preparing to phase out kernel extensions altogether in upcoming macOS releases. This feature is limited to macOS Big Sur, however, with older versions of macOS retaining extension-based virtualization. New to Fusion is the ability to run without kernel extensions, meaning the software is tapping into Apple's APIs for VM and container processing.


Users of Fusion 12 Pro can also connect to vSphere or ESXi hosts for remote workloads. VM operations and file transfer have been improved in Fusion 12. Performance maxes out at 32 vCPU and 128GB of RAM, while the aforementioned 8GB of VRAM help boost apps and services. Teased in June ahead of an official announcement in August, VMWare Fusion 12 comes packed with the usual tools to get Windows, and a host of some 200 supported operating systems, up and running on Mac.Īs a host, Mac can run Windows apps in the dock, access Apple's Metal graphics, support up to 8GB of virtual graphics memory, access BootCamp import and launch options, run virtual NVMe devices and deploy a desktop environment suitable for Kubernetes apps.
