Introduction to LXD/LXC Linux Containers

LXD is a next-generation system container manager. It offers a user experience similar to virtual machines but using Linux containers instead.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage systems or application containers.

Containers are useful for many reasons. They isolate apps from the rest of the system. They are portable and easy to clone and/or move to other operating systems.

Docker is a popular solution designed to contain a single application: for example, a Web server. LXD is similar in some ways but designed to contain an entire operating system.
