More developer tools

Visual Studio Code
Use the free Visual Studio Code extension from Parallels and control your virtual machines without leaving your IDE. You can create custom VMs with your add-ons or just control the status of existing ones, e.g. start, stop, resume and pause.

Command Line Interface
Use (prlctl, prlsrvctl) to control Parallels Desktop for Mac and virtual machines, their settings and their configuration. Autocompletion for prlctl and prlsrvctl commands in zsh.* Allow passing arguments to applications in the VM.

*zsh completions should be installed on the Mac

Packer/Vagrant
Download Parallels' ready-to-use virtual machines with Vagrant Parallels Provider. Or use Parallels Builder for Packer to create your own boxes and share them with your colleagues by reusing the Packer templates provided by Parallels and simplify onboarding.

Kubernetes via Minikube
Turn your Mac into a local Kubernetes cluster with the Minikube driver for Parallels.

Jenkins
Run your builds (CI/CD) in virtual machines by initiating and managing them with Jenkins. Develop Windows, Linux, macOS and iOS applications.
With the Parallels Jenkins plug-in, Parallels Desktop VMs are dynamically started whenever they are needed to build jobs and then suspended during idle time
to utilize high-density resources.

Nested VT-x on Intel Macs*
Parallels Desktop provides support for nested virtualization (VT-x), which lets you run Hyper-V and other types of virtual machines and emulators.

*Intel Macs only 

Great features are available in the latest version

Start an SSH session

Quickly start an SSH session with your VM. This command requires an SSH server running on your VM; run the ssh command in the terminal.

Open in browser

Open and test your website with one click.

Start debug session

Start a debug session directly from Parallels Desktop.

Note: Parallels Desktop supports lldb as a debug frontend. It should be installed using the Xcode command line tools or with XCode.

Creating a core dump

Generate the virtual machine memory dump.

Improved clipboard direction settings

Specify in which direction data
can be exchanged between macOS and virtual machines via the clipboard: both ways
or only from the Mac to the virtual machine or vice versa.

Port forwarding

Allow external network connections to your virtual machine to be redirected
to a specific port on your virtual machine according to the port forwarding rule . Headless mode Run virtual machines as background processes without the graphical user interface (GUI) appearing on the Mac desktop, and connect to these virtual machines using remote tools. Cloning virtual machines Create a copy of your virtual machine with one click.
