VMs aren't actually difficult to use. Just about everyone who works as a
system administrator knows how to set up VMs from supplied images and
start them. This is probably easier than installing an OS onto unfamiliar
bare metal.

You may well want to do some configuration of the VMS instance inside
your VM, but that's normal VMS sysadmin.
