The command "multipass find" is used in the context of the Multipass tool, which is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing lightweight virtual machines (VMs) on multiple platforms.
When you run the "multipass find" command, it searches for available VM images across a range of available sources. It tries to locate images from both local sources (such as cached images on your machine) and remote sources (such as the official Multipass image repositories).
The purpose of this command is to help you discover and identify the VM images that you can use to create new instances using Multipass. It provides you with a list of available image names, along with details like the release version, the image source, and the file size.
You can then use the obtained image information to create new virtual machines using the "multipass launch" command, specifying the desired image name.
