The plugin comes with a builder and a post-processor to create UTM machines. The following UTM Builders and post-processors are supported.

utm-utm - This builder imports an existing UTM file, runs provisioners on top of that VM, and exports that machine to create an image (.utm). This is best if you have an existing UTM VM export you want to use as the source. As an additional benefit, you can feed the artifact of this builder back into itself to iterate on a machine.

utm-zip - The utm zip post-processor is simplied version of compress zip post-processor. This post-processor takes in the artifact from UTM builders and zips up the UTM directory, which can be used to share and import VMs in UTM. You can use the zip version of UTM VM either through Vagrant UTM plugin or directly through downloadVM?url=...
