Hunter's comment
Multipass is a lightweight, well compared to Docker and K8S. Its easy to install on MacOS and Linux and provides full fledged environment to test apps, build code etc.
I am these days using to quickly test things and build code on my lcoal system.

By default the multipass primary starts with 1 GB RAM. The tricks to increase RAM is here https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1158#issuecomment-548073024
Interesting tool. I think this is more valuable for Windows and MacOS users
Though on Windows these days an inbuilt linux support is present. I have not used it though
I have tried Windows Subsystem for Linux once. I had a Python script with a GTK GUI and I couldn't get it render properly on Windows. I think WSL works nicely, at least better than Cygwin but I don't know if WSL supports Linux containers and container managers like Docker. Last time I have seen Docker on Windows it run the containers on CoreOS in Virtualbox.
