@Susie-Hu

try to install bosh as guide https://bosh.io/docs/quick-start/ in mac and virtualbox.

mac version:
chip: apple M4
virtual box version:7.1.12 r169651 (Qt6.5.3)

bosh install failed with message:
Deploying:
Creating instance 'bosh/0':
Creating VM:
Creating vm with stemcell cid 'sc-73b48cb4-e9f0-4564-4ee8-b828ae57bbf5':
CPI 'create_vm' method responded with error: CmdError{"type":"Bosh::Clouds::CloudError","message":"Creating VM with agent ID '{{5b758f11-013d-4d8a-7e17-e9355f9d48aa}}': Starting VM: Retried '30' times: Running command: 'VBoxManage startvm vm-02ba0003-411e-4f3d-73aa-af067e1ea177 --type headless', stdout: 'Waiting for VM "vm-02ba0003-411e-4f3d-73aa-af067e1ea177" to power on...\n', stderr: 'VBoxManage: error: The VM session was aborted\nVBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession\n': exit status 1","ok_to_retry":false}

Exit code 1

tring to start the vm in virtualbox directly, and throw error message as:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine sc-6d8acdcf-93d1-4ddb-6025-bbdfddf0fc99
Callee RC: | VBOX_E_PLATFORM_ARCH_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0012)

from the virtulbox document, the ubuntu is not in the guest operating system list;
Arm Guest Operating Systems
Oracle Premier Support covers the running of the following guest OSs in a VM with an Arm64 platform architecture.

Oracle Linux 9
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
CentOS Stream 9
Oracle Linux 8
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

In my opinion, can we have a stemcell based on the allowed guest os.
