What’s LXD? At its simplest, LXD is a daemon which provides a REST API to drive LXC >containers. Thanks, that clears it right up.

  Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not?

    No sarcasm. This is a simple explanation of where LXD fits into the stack. If you don't know what LXC is maybe this isn't clear. But LXC stands for LinuX Containers, and is extremely fundamental technology in the containerization space.

      (You should possibly have replied to the post above me) > LXC stands for LinuX Containers, and is extremely fundamental technology in the containerization space. Not exactly. LXC was amoung the first pieces of software to take advantage of namespaces when they were added to the kernel; but LXC is not often used. Most of the various containerisation software now available does not use LXC, and it not based on the same codebase.
