vm_launcher

Overview

vm_launcher is a frontend to crosvm that simplifies launching a VM and managing its lifecycle. This includes allocating resources that must be handled at a higher level than the VM hypervisor, such as IPv4 address allocation.

Usage

Each VM must be given a name when started. Each VM will have a runtime directory under /run/vm/<name> which contains the specific resources it has allocated, as well as the control socket for that crosvm instance.

vm_launcher uses the following subcommands:

  • run - Run a VM with serial console in the foreground.
  • start - Start a headless VM in the background.
  • stop - Stop a running VM and clean up any resources.
  • getname - Get the VM name associated with a pid.
  • help - Get vm_launcher usage help.
