#### Instant Ubuntu VMs

Multipass is a tool to launch and manage VMs on Windows, Mac and Linux that simulates a cloud environment with support for cloud-init. Get Ubuntu on-demand with clean integration to your IDE and version control on your native platform.

Launch an instance (by default you get the current Ubuntu LTS)

```
multipass launch --name foo
```

Run commands in that instance, try running bash (logout or ctrl-d to quit)

```
multipass exec foo -- lsb_release -a
```

Pass a cloud-init metadata file to an instance on launch

```
multipass launch -n bar --cloud-init cloud-config.yaml
```

See your instances

```
multipass list
```

Stop and start instances

```
multipass stop
multipass start
```

Get help

```
multipass help
```
