Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI & GUI to launch and manage Ubuntu VMs. Uses native OS VM hypervisor framework for maximum performance. Can be customized with cloud-init. \$HOME mounted by default to make it easy to share files. Networking set up by default. Blueprints for common applications e.g. running Docker + Portainer. Open source.
