- VirtualBox - free desktop virtualization software, only really for x86 / x86_64 based systems, current beta doesn't work on Mac Arm Silicon processors
- UTM - easy frontend to use qemu virtualization on Mac Apple M Silicon processors
- Vagrant - automates VirtualBox VMs for easy reproduction of local labs with scripted provisioners or calling Puppet or similar (I used this a lot at Cloudera)

ubuntu.md from HariSekhon/Knowledge-Base repo: https://github.com/HariSekhon/Knowlege-Base
The most widely used Linux distribution for cloud installations, derived from the battle tested stable long term Debian distribution which is now the standard for Linux and the eventual winner of the long Linux distro wars, as the result of Redhat abandoning the open source mission in favour of profits and relegating themselves to becoming legacy.
For servers always use LTS releases for stability (LTS = Long Term Support).

One of the original hosted CI/CD systems.
Reasonable UI, but...
travis-ci.org was free for open source, but has been retired.
travis-ci.com remains as a paid offering.
