They may rely on certain files being present in the working directory, or give different results depending on where they are run.ĭirectory mapping maintains the context of an aliased command, meaning that an aliased command sent from the host will be executed in the same context on the VM. Commands like docker-compose, for example, are context sensitive.
Multipass has supported command aliasing for some time now, but one drawback of aliasing alone is that it loses the context of where the command is executed in the filesystem. Multipass’ performance leveled up with this release, and the user experience did as well! Directory mapping is a new way to be more efficient than ever with Multipass. For those who don’t remember, Multipass can launch VMs on the Apple M1 and M2 in less than 20 seconds. Performance mounts make the M1 and M2 even faster platforms for Ubuntu.
Multipass is one of the few VM management tools available to developers on Apple silicon. In benchmarking, we’ve seen speed gains of around 10x! For people sharing data with Multipass from their host machine, this is a huge time saver. This feature uses platform-optimized software to make filesystems shared between the host computer and the virtual machine much faster than before. With the new native mounts feature, Multipass is getting a major performance boost. With the 1.11 release, we’ve taken another big step forward. Performance has always been in Multipass’ DNA – we try to keep it as lightweight as we can so that nothing gets between developers and their work.
