Canonical LXD is a next generation system container manager.It offers a user experience similar to virtual machines but using Linux containers instead.It’s image based with pre-made images available for a wide number of Linux distributions and is built around a very powerful, yet pretty simple, REST API.
Customer Reviews
Mike B.
Advanced user of Canonical LXDHigh performance due to running in LXC (Linux Containers), but for single system installs. Compatible with existing Vagrant box workflow via vagrant-lxd provider (and can be coupled without a cloud provider such as vagrant-digitalocean for a high performance local dev that can match affordable staging and production environments and can even spin them up), or via lxdock (less robust and not well maintained anymore).
Setup can be difficult to newcomers, Snap version available for non-Ubuntu distros seems to have some issues.
Avoiding the dreaded "It works on my local!" without switching team to a multi-container Docker setup.
