krunvm: Create MicroVM based on Fedora.
$ krunvm create ${docker-io-fedora} --cpus ${number_of_vcpus} --mem ${memory_in_megabytes} --name "${name}"
try on your machine

This is a command that creates a virtual machine (VM) using the "krunvm" tool. The command uses variables to specify various parameters for the VM.

  • ${docker-io-fedora}: This variable represents the image or template to use for the VM, which is likely a Fedora-based Docker image.
  • --cpus ${number_of_vcpus}: This option sets the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) to allocate to the VM. The variable ${number_of_vcpus} should hold the desired number of vCPUs.
  • --mem ${memory_in_megabytes}: This option sets the amount of memory to allocate to the VM, in megabytes. The variable ${memory_in_megabytes} should contain the desired memory size.
  • --name "${name}": This option sets the name of the created VM. The variable ${name} should hold the desired name.

Overall, this command creates a VM from a Fedora-based Docker image, specifying the number of vCPUs, memory size, and name for the VM.
