Create and boot a virtual machine
- [Instructor] In our previous lesson, we created a very minimal virtual machine. It didn't have any virtual disc attached, so it couldn't host an operating system. Now it served well for our demonstrating purposes as we learned how to manage it with the Birch command. But now let's do something more interesting to see some real world scenarios as well. We'll look at how to create a more complete virtual machine with an operating system running inside. This will give us a chance to see the real thing in action and learn about some additional commands. Now, the first thing we need to do is download a disc image. Now Ubuntu's site, they have a listing here of an Ubuntu operating system, pre-configured to be used in a cloud environment. These are the cloud images. For example, Google Cloud uses these similar images when we spin up a virtual private server on their platform. So we're going to download this minimal cloud image with wget. (no audio) Okay, and our image is finished…
