Image
Multipass uses images (short for disk images or system images) tuned for cloud usage to spin up Ubuntu VMs.
You can use multipass find to view a list of the available images. These images are obtained from different sources, such as:
- Ubuntu Cloud Images: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
- Ubuntu CD Images: https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/
and more.
You can also launch images from a file or URL, as long as they provide the tools required to deploy a cloud. The key requirements are:
- cloud-init
- SSH
For more information on the system requirements for a particular image, refer to official documentation (for example: Ubuntu Core system requirements).
