Export a Multipass-VM to a .QCOW2 file

Question

I was working with Multipass to create a VM machine of Ubuntu Bionic. I have made a lot of changes to the initial installation (one includes kernel changes) and that's why I would like to export in a QCOW2 image, because I need to recreate this image in the Google Cloud Platform. From this question with a similar topic, Christopher Townsend said that there were not a easy way to do it, but maybe there is a "hard" way to do it? Thanks

Answer 1

I put this question in the issues from the Github repository of the project, they are trying to work in a enhancement to be able to create snapshot or backups from the virtual machines created. There is a open issue who talks about this theme here if you want to know which is the status of the improvement of the application.
