The Linux Container Daemon
The new hypervisor isn’t a hypervisor, and it’s much, much faster
LXD
What is LXD (“lex-dee”)?
Take all the speed and efficiency of docker, and turn it into a full
virtualisation experience. That’s the goal of Canonical’s new initiative
to create the next big hypervisor around Linux container technologies.
Imagine you could launch a new machine in under a second, and that you
could launch hundreds of them on a single server. Hundreds! Now, imagine
that you have hardware-guaranteed security to ensure that those machines
can’t pry or spy on one another. Imagine you can connect them separately
and securely to networks. And imagine that you can run that on a single
node or a million, live migrate machines between those nodes, and talk
to all of it through a clean, extensible REST API. That’s what LXD sets
out to deliver.
