Type 2 hypervisors and Kubernetes? (alien.top)

Hey all!

I bought an e2695 v4 xeon system with the intention of learning kubernetes since my college professor who thought it was subbed at the last minute and didn't really teach it and we kind of just glazed over it. I never got around to it and my partner wanted a better PC to play Valheim so I stuck an RX580 in it and installed Ubuntu. They're not computer savvy and the 5 min boot time might be confusing to them already so I didn't want to throw grub into the mix. Can I still effectively run kubernetes through a type 2 hypervisor like virtualbox effectively for really basic spring framework services? One down side is I only have 16gb of ram in this unit since it was mostly a budget build with junk I had lying around.

There shouldn't be any issue with running Kubernetes in a Linux VM on Virtualbox. At least as far as I can tell. You can just try it.
