and you will get a new VM on your workstation. The goal is not to be a full cloud, but to give developers a local cloud experience on their workstation, which they can use to run builds in the background, or to try cloud appliances, or to test cloud deployments and cloud-init scripts, free of charge. People sometimes use it as a build farm on a shared server, for example.
