Do you have always running VMs on your workstation? If yes, what’s running on them? (alien.top)

To clarify I am not asking about a dedicated machine running something like Proxmox or Esxi. My question is about VMs running on your daily use machine on something like VirtualBox, VM ware fusion, parallels etc

Not always, I only have a laptop. But I do have a terraform setup that quickly deploys a gitlab runner on my laptop for when I need it, then I destroy it when I'm done with it. Uses the libvirt provider, a CoreOS image, and ignition to configure and start the runner service immediately.
