Ability to create multiple VMs in parallel #10

Open jay7x opened 1 year ago

jay7x commented 1 year ago

While starting multiple VMs in parallel is unsafe in general (see https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/issues/1354) it'd be really nice to have a way to 🤞🏻, 🙏🏻 and do it anyway. As long as all VMs are created already it should be safe to start them in parallel. So my idea is to add a parallel=true kind of parameter to the lima::cluster::start plan.

Just realized that start process is already parallelized.. So two possible things to implement:

  1. Add threads=N parameter to specify how many VMs to start in parallel (fallback to half of CPU count as it is now)
  2. Add parallel=true which will create VMs in parallel too (if you're sure that all files were downloaded before)
