Multipass

Description

---

The Multipass is an open-source tool developed by Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) to create, manage, and orchestrate virtual machines (VMs). It is a very useful tool for developers who need isolated environments, test applications on different versions of Ubuntu, or configure temporary instances for experimentation.

Main features:

Integration with cloud-init:
Allows configuring instances during boot using YAML files, such as setting up users, installing packages, or running scripts.

Lightweight and fast:
The VMs are optimized for quick boot and minimal resource consumption, using pre-configured Ubuntu images.

Centralized management:
Commands like multipass list or multipass info allow monitoring all running VMs.

Simplified networking and storage:
Automatically configures shared networking and mounts local directories in the VMs.
