Multipass Provider

The Pulumi Multipass provider enables declarative management of Canonical Multipass virtual machines using Pulumi.

Multipass is a tool to launch and manage Ubuntu virtual machines on macOS, Linux, and Windows. This provider turns Multipass VMs into first-class Pulumi resources, allowing you to describe multi-node local topologies in code, track changes, and destroy environments without relying on cloud infrastructure.

Installation

The Multipass provider is distributed as GitHub releases. Install the resource plugin using the Pulumi CLI:

pulumi plugin install resource multipass v0.3.1 --server github://api.github.com/incsteps/pulumi-provider-multipass

Once the provider will be included as part of the Pulumi Community Registry, this step will be unnecessary.

Then add the SDK to your project:

pulumi package add multipass

Usage

import * as multipass from "@incsteps/pulumi-multipass";

const vm = new multipass.resources.Instance("dev", {
    name:   "dev",
    image:  "24.04",
    cpus:   2,
    memory: "4G",
    disk:   "20G",
});

export const ip = vm.ipv4;
