Issue descriptionChrome version: 70.0.3538.76 (Official Build) (64-bit) OS: Chrome Currently creating your first Crostini VM (and accompanying container) has a nice UI for it. Creating a second one, which can be done with crosh and vmc, is something you're on your own for. This is unfortunate, because it also means things like file-sharing are also things you're on your own for. Crostini is a powerful feature for building well isolated environments, and it'd be nice if there was a great UI for it. (e.g. today I'm using my primary crostini VM as a development environment, and a second one to run Signal Desktop, having that be a smooth experience would be great).

To add another use-case, I use a second vm+container to isolate my SSH sessions and SSH private key. Google's "Secure Shell App" has the nice feature of being able to use a private key backed by the TPM hardware, but it lacks the ability to fork a process to support being able to tunnel through an SSH bastion. It would be nice to able to table to launch SSH in it's own container through a single GUI click instead of crosh->vm->container->ssh workflow. |
