vmctl [COMMAND] [ARGS]
Launch firecracker VMs from configuration templates with networks
managed by CNI. VM configuration is stored in $VM_CONFIG_DIR
and network configuration is stored in $NET_CONFIG_DIR
Commands:
create: Create a new firecracker VM with a network.
destroy: Destroy a firecracker VM and its associated network.
Arguments:
--id ID of the VM. This ID will be shared with the network.
Temporary VMs should always use a UUID.
--cni CNI configuration ID for the VM, which implies a CNI config
in $CNI_CONFIG_DIR with that name. Defaults to "firecracker".
--template VM configuration template. The MAC address and IP address
will be interpolated with the output from the CNI network
configuration. Defaults to $VM_CONFIG_DIR/config.json.
Extra commands:
create-network: Create the network for a VM only.
destroy-network: Destroy an existing network.
