- Added a new CLI option `--metrics-path PATH`. It accepts a file parameter

- A MAC address is generated if one is not explicitly specified while adding

network interfaces. This address can be obtained as part of the GET

- Make the `T2` template more robust by explicitly disabling additional
2023
CPUID flags that should be off but were missed initially or that were
2124
not available in the spec when the template was created.
25+
- When MAC address was left unspecified, GET `/vm/config` would report the
26+
interface MAC address incorrectly as `null`, and post snapshot restore as
27+
`00:00:00:00:00:00`. It now correctly reports the code generated MAC address
28+
when queried in both cases.
