Interesting move by Canonical. Wonder if this is related to the new GUI for LXD that Canonical released recently? Or maybe they want to bring more projects in-house after the RHEL shakeup?

    Used it once or twice then stopped, prefer raw lxc or even just manually creating namespaces if I want control.

    Never quite understood the point, the additional polish seemed fairly minimal from a utility pov.

    They should take over proxmox or something, give themselves a complete story.

      I don’t know if I want a project as cool as Proxmox owned by the “you will use snap and you will like it” Canonical

        I haven’t been following, but that’s actually good to hear, proxmox needs a better ui.

        LXD, I suppose for the migration, but for any more complex orchestration I think you’ve moving to k8s or something more serious, LXD just has an odd “not enough but too much” feature set for me, I like things either push-button, or let me do it, this is kind of both.

                I do that with lxd, but I have written ansible playbooks (almost like dockerfile? ) to automate the lxd containers. You could probably write some automation for scaling as well, but not something I’ve done, I have just opted for high availability with ceph & keepalived. Whatever works for your use case :) I do use some docker, but this is still nested inside lxd…

        Oh, bullshit. The minimal interface that Ubuntu offers isn’t even a pimple on the Proxmox front end, and doesn’t touch the filesystem, clustering abilities and backup solution that’s the equivalent of Veeam IMO.
