Introduction to LXD: The pure-container hypervisor

7 February 2018

What if you could move your Linux Virtual Machines straight to containers, easily, without modifying the apps or administration processes? LXD from Canonical is a pure-container hypervisor that takes the speed and latency of containers and brings them to the hypervisor world. LXD is a machine container, meaning they’re just like traditional physical and virtual machines. Join our webinar on 7th February with Technical Lead Stéphane Graber to learn:

  • The difference between application and machine containers
  • How pure-container hypervisors such as LXD can reduce overhead
  • How to use LXD in practice from deployment to operations
