Lab 2.2 on arm64 (Mac M3 and similar)

Since I have a lot of RAM available on my Mac laptop, I decided to run the course on it, spinning up VMs locally. Initially I tried to virtualize the native arm64 architecture of my M3, but the k8scp.sh script failed because the image for containerd couldn't be found (I tried to install it manually, the apt search command did show it but apt install couldn't get it -- it took me a while to realize that that was likely because the target architecture of the package was amd64).

Even though installing is a lot slower, emulating an amd64 worked for me. I hope the reduced performance will not end up causing problems down the road.
