On Apple Macs with Silicon processors, UTM is one of the best free virtualization options available, offering solid performance for ARM-based virtual machines.
As we saw in the Vagrant - installing and operationg post, Vagrant provides a convenient way for automating the setup, configuration, and management of virtual machines, enabling reproducible and consistent development environments.
Sadly, when dealing with Vagrant, there are only a few prebuilt Vagrant boxes supporting the UTM provider, which limits its out-of-the-box usability. Create ARM64 VagrantBox for Oracle Linux on UTM arch64 from Scratch shows how to create an aarch64 Oracle Linux 10 Vagrant box supporting the UTM ARM provider, making it easier to deploy and manage Linux VMs on Apple Silicon.
