About

Start a fresh Ubuntu virtual machine with one command, then open a shell in it, run commands, stop it or delete it. Multipass downloads Ubuntu images for you and keeps them up to date, so a clean test environment is ready when you need it.

It runs on Linux, Windows and macOS, using KVM, Hyper-V and QEMU respectively, with VirtualBox as an option on Windows and macOS. Because it supports cloud-init metadata, you can simulate a small cloud deployment on your laptop or workstation.

Highlights

  • Launch an Ubuntu VM with one command
  • Images downloaded and kept up to date
  • cloud-init support for cloud simulation

Who it's for

Good for developers who need a disposable Ubuntu environment to test software or cloud setups.
