Apple Virtualization Framework
This is higher-level than the Hypervisor framework; this Virtualization framework providers an entire VM with virtio peripherals including a display.
https://github.com/lima-vm/lima can use Virtualization framework for creating VMs, there is also https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli as a very simple CLI utility for running VMs, though it's not very actively maintained.

Is there anything like WSL2 in Mac?
In that case, VMs are probably the best options. If performance is not the issue, you can look at UTM (https://docs.getutm.app/installation/macos/). Free from GitHub and $10 from App Store. Parallels is a good option as well. Or something simple as https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli from CLI.

Running Intel Binaries in Linux VMs with Rosetta
Virtualization.framework is the hypervisor itself, you only need simple tool to launch it. You probably could just copy-paste provided code into eg. https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli. However macOS 13 beta seems to be only available for registered developers.

M1 For Development 1 month later
Use https://github.com/gyf304/vmcli and install docker on Ubuntu ARM. But I am not sure, probably qemu emulation is not going to be here, so you will have to run only ARM images. And for this option you can also install k8s.

How do you virtualize? Enrolling VMs in Jamf
I’ve been using Virtual Buddy to virtualise mac for quick testing. It’s pretty quick to spin up a vm and can be enrolled without modification to the vm. I think parallels is the same.
- Has anybody used this VirtualOS software? If so, what do you think? Can't find any discussion on it anywhere so it might be a dud but curious to know if anybody has used it.
