I'm currently using VMware fusion (tech preview) and Vagrant (with the free vmware plugin) to spin up several Ubuntu VMs in my new (got it last week!) Mac M1. So far so good, although sometimes I need to restart the vmware thingy because it may not assign the custom private ip addresses I define in my Vagrantfile. One needs a Vagrantbox for Ubuntu arm (you either can trust one of the uploaded ones in Vagrant cloud or bake yours using Packer or similar tooling). Nice thing about this setup is that it's all free (just like I used to have when using Intel and Virtualbox).
