Multipass is a Canonical tool for launching and managing Ubuntu virtual machines on Windows, macOS and Linux. Designed to make virtualization straightforward, it lets users create and operate Ubuntu VMs with a single command, providing a convenient way to work with Ubuntu across different desktop platforms. The product is featured within Canonical’s broader portfolio of Ubuntu and open-source infrastructure technologies, alongside solutions for servers, cloud computing, containers and developer tools.

Canonical provides access to Multipass documentation and related virtualization resources, helping users learn about the tool and get started. The wider Canonical ecosystem also includes Ubuntu Desktop and Server, LXD containers and virtual machines, and Windows Subsystem for Linux resources. For organizations, Canonical offers products and services spanning security and compliance subscriptions, enterprise support, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, IoT and device management. Multipass is therefore suited to users who need a practical route to Ubuntu virtual machines, whether for development, testing or general use, while fitting into a larger platform of tools for building and managing Linux environments.
