Containers and LXD
LXD is an easy to use system container and virtual machine manager. On top of letting you create and run containers and virtual machines on a wide selection of storage and network options as well as featuring a modern REST API for remote management, it can also be very easily clustered. This talk will cover what system containers and virtual machines are and when they each make sense followed by an introduction to LXD itself and a pretty comprehensive demo of LXD's main features.
LXD is available on any Linux distribution that supports the snap package format as well as through native packages on ArchLinux, Alpine, Gentoo, OpenSUSE and more. The client part of LXD can run natively on any Linux, BSD, MacOS or Windows systems accessing a remote LXD server running on Linux.
