Docker on macOS supports by default running images with different CPU
architectures. (This isn't quite a VM, but similar enough that I
thought I'd mention this here.)

Run `docker run arm64v8/hello-world:linux` to see this in action. See
<https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world> to see which other
architectures are supported.
