Canonical Introduces New Versions of LXD
Canonical has recently introduced new versions of the containers management system, LXD 5.16 and 5.17. These versions mark a significant milestone in the development of LXD, as it has transformed from being a community project developed by Linux Containers to a corporate project fully controlled by Canonical. As a result of these changes, Linux Containers established its own fork of LXD, called Incus, which is available on GitHub.
LXD is written in GO and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. It offers a powerful and efficient solution for managing and operating system containers. With the release of LXD 5.16 and 5.17, users can enjoy the enhanced capabilities and features that have been introduced in these new versions.
For more information about LXD 5.17, please visit the official blog post on the Canonical website. To learn more about LXD and its capabilities, you can visit the Ubuntu LXD page.
We encourage users and developers to explore the latest versions of LXD and experience the advancements in container management that Canonical has brought to the table.
