Here is a breakdown of the command:
multipass launch
: It is the command to create a new virtual machine instance using Multipass.-n ${instance_name}
: The-n
flag is used to specify the name of the new instance.${instance_name}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name.--cloud-init ${configuration_file}
: The--cloud-init
flag is used to provide cloud-init configuration for customizing the instance during creation.${configuration_file}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the path to the actual cloud-init configuration file. Cloud-init is a mechanism for customizing cloud instances by supplying configuration data during the instance's initial boot.

, and applies custom configuration from ${configuration_file}
during the instance's creation.
