Updating the virtualbox machines

[evilmonkey19]

Hello Nick,

First of all, thank you for the incredible course you have done. Even though much of the research and practices in SDN may have changed, many of the concepts and values have not.

I want to help update the course and keep up to date (at least in terms of being able to follow it), but I have encountered several problems with the VirtualBox machine. In my particular case, I can still run the machine in VirtualBox 6.1 using a Macbook Pro 2015 but not using Virtualbox 7.

The main problem is that the original virtual machine uses Ubuntu 14 LTS, and I am afraid that more and more laptops in the future (mainly ARM machines) will not be able to run this machine. I want to contribute at least by updating the virtual machine, and hopefully, everyone who wants to do the course can do the labs as well. Is it possible to list the software needed to run the virtual machine?

Thanks,
Enric.

P.D: I did a similar post in the course, but I explained how to set it up just in case someone has problems.
