LXD is a next generation container manager that provides additional features that are similar to virtual machines, such as snapshots, storage pools, and more. Using Linux containers (LXC) as the container type, LXD gives you the best of two worlds. In this video, I'll go over the basics of LXD. You'll learn how to set it up and launch containers. For this particular video, we'll focus on LXC commands but a followup that dives more into LXD's more advanced features is a possibility if there's enough interest.
