This is a community dedicated to all types of computer networking (physical/virtual/cloud/etc.)
Computers use common communication protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other. These interconnections are made up of telecommunication network technologies based on physically wired, optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods that may be arranged in a variety of network topologies.

Someone where I work set up a process to provision a VM with simulated devices & networking using containerlab. We use it to simulate scenarios and test the orchestration/automation software we develop. You declaritively define the nodes and connections, it's multi-vendor, and uses docker.
There's also clabernetes, which allows you to deploy the topology into a kubernetes cluster
