LXD

LXD is a next generation system container and virtual machine manager.
It offers a unified user experience around full Linux systems running inside containers or virtual machines.

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.

To get a better idea of what LXD is and what it does, you can try it online!
Then if you want to run it locally, take a look at our getting started guide.

Release announcements can be found here: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/news/
And the release tarballs here: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/downloads/ The documentation is here: https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/docs/master/
