Trying LXD Virtual Machines

Congratulations to all the team members of LXD project. This is another stride in project. Although Kubernetes and Docker gets all the press due to money poured in it for marketing, LXD is a dark horse continuously moving forward.

Hopefully people will slowly move towards it given the simplicity of orchestration and ease of use. But its a battle like Mercurial and Git, where Mercurial even with better ease of use and feature parity with git (at times better), still couldn't capture developer mind share, because for most git is github. So even though git is clouded by a proprietary closed source github eco-system it continue to thrive.

Also with VM support in LXD, not sure how the integration with OpenNebula and OpenStack play out as both have LXD drivers besides VM. Probably it will move LXD in another competing platform.

We have been using LXD for almost 5 years in production with minor teething issues and one major things are fine.
