wikipedia:multipass[1] (December 2019 v1.0[2]) allows to create and manage Ubuntu virtual machine instances on Linux, Windows and macOS. It uses KVM on Linux, Hyper-V on Windows and HyperKit on macOS, supported since July 2018[3], to run the VM with minimal overhead. Since August 2020 (v1.4) it also included bridged networking support[4].

Usage[edit]

macOS[edit]

Setting MULTIPASS_STORAGE system variable will change where data/images are stored since multipass 1.5.0 (October 2020)

Ubuntu[edit]

Logs[edit]

Know limitations[edit]

Activities[edit]

  1. Install and create you first Ubuntu VM with Multipass
  2. Read Multipass releases/versions/Changelog
  3. Modify number of CPU on an existing instance: num_cores
  4. Review most popular StackOverflow multipass questions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/multipass?tab=Votes
