    Description

      Virtualbox support has been in experimentation mode for over 2.5 years. Working directly with a hypervisor adds extra responsibility, such as both orchestrating processes and also api calls. Moreover environment setup can be extremely brittle.

      This provider has had a lot of work from folks including andreaturli, dr-alves, mattias, and myself. However, we cannot deny that it has failed to progress and labs was never intended as a permanent location.

      I recommend we remove the virtualbox provider, but thank the authors for their valiant efforts.
