Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not necessarily a problem, but I use vagrant for quick environments. WSL2 seems like it is halfway there, and using WSL2 instead of vagrant would be very useful.
Describe the solution you'd like
WSL commands to provision from an image and set some networking configurations to quickly start a clean instance, make them easy to change and destroy, etc...
Describe alternatives you've considered
Vagrant is an alternative.
Additional context
The use-case for vagrant is nearly identical, but for WSL2.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing WSL commands and documentation for provisioning from an image, configuring networking, and creating or destroying instances. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, and does not define the command interface or acceptance criteria, so the expected implementation and definition of done require substantial design work.
