qemu

I occasionally need to spin up a local, short-lived VM on my workstation in order to test something on Linux. For example, I was recently testing a Kubernetes backup utility, so I created a local VM and installed K3s in it. Vagrant and VirtualBox are my go-to for this. I’m up and off to the races with just a few commands. vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64 vagrant up vagrant ssh But after seeing how easy it is to spin up a local VM with QEMU, I decided to give that a try....
