Create a disk from a file upload
Create a new disk and upload the contents of a file to that disk. Use
--snapshot to optionally create a snapshot of the disk after the upload is
complete. If creating a snapshot, optionally use the --image options to
create an image from that snapshot.
The start, write, stop, and finalize subcommands can be used for lower- level operations.
