Granted, most of the virtual machines in question are variations of Ubuntu, but there are some additional images available, and you can create your own. Using Multipass from Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, you can easily spin up virtual machines under Linux, Mac, or Windows. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do the same for virtual machines? You can. It wasn’t long ago that we looked at easily creating Docker containers from the command line so you could just easily spin up a virtual environment for development.
