: A QEMU Copy-On-Write 2 disk image format designed to run on top of hypervisors.

| Feature | Benefit for TIMOS Labs | | :--- | :--- | | | qcow2 files appear large to the guest OS but only consume host disk space as it is actually written to, dramatically reducing storage requirements for multiple virtual routers . | | Snapshots | The ability to save the exact state of a virtual router before a configuration change, test, or upgrade. If something breaks, you can revert instantly — invaluable for experimenting with complex routing protocols . | | Compression | qcow2 supports zlib-based compression, which can significantly reduce the disk footprint of multiple TIMOS images stored on the host, particularly for archived lab setups . | | AES Encryption | Optional encryption protects sensitive configurations and data within the virtual disk, adding a layer of security for production-like labs . | timossr130r4vmqcow2 top

. Network engineers building virtual Topologies use this exact combination to evaluate control-plane stress and diagnose performance bottlenecks while emulating massive core-routing systems on personal hardware. : A QEMU Copy-On-Write 2 disk image format
