Multipass on Linux does CentOS and any other cloud-init enabled image.
It currently does not support this for some reason on macos which really sucks! Hopefully it will eventually.
I also want to say that I enjoy using Vagrant as well. It certainly has it's advantages for certain use-cases. For my personal most common use-case, I prefer multipass. That's all! Glad to see there are multiple options continuing to evolve in this space!
Not true. The moment you need to do anything too complex for a simplistic tool, simplicity loses. Multipass doesn't do CentOS, for example. Therfore, for some of my use cases, multipass's simplicity loses.
Furthermore, with multipass, as soon as you need to do anything beyond launching a default image, it's no longer simple. It's just as complicated as Vagrant. Someone has to write your cloud-config.yaml file, just as someone has to write an Ansible playbook.
