It might actually be more useful to provide a generic tool (Etcher) to perform these conversions in scenarios outside of balenaCloud as well. NOTE: Perhaps it makes more sense for this to be a feature request against balenaCloud, to provide a bootable ISO download option, but I figured I would post it here to start the discussion. It would be great if Etcher could perform this. iso, which is more easily connected / disconnected from a virtual machine, and doesn't require conversion between a variety of disk formats. Instead, I'd like the option to convert the. Because there are two separate disks attached to the VM, I also have to worry about the disk boot order, to ensure that the virtual machine doesn't try to repeatedly boot from the "flasher" disk, if it's still attached after the staging process. VHDX, VMware Workstation-compatible VMDK, VMware ESX-compatible VMDK, etc.). This process is cumbersome, and requires conversion between disk formats (ie. Today, I have to follow a complex process to convert the balenaOS "flasher" image to VHDX/VMDK disk formats, mount this secondary disk as a bootable device, boot the system, and then later remove the "flasher" disk, once the OS has been "staged" onto a secondary disk of a virtual machine. img format to a bootable ISO file, this would give me more flexibility in installing balenaOS on virtual machines, and minimize the toolchain and configuration required to get a VM up and running.

If I could convert the balenaOS "flasher" image from raw.

As a balenaCloud user, I would like an easier mechanism to install balenaOS onto virtual machines (ie.
