Canonical LXD Pros and Cons

The ease of deploying a container in just few simple steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a problem in Lxd as this software has no pqckage in the apt of debian or ubuntu and you need to install it with snap and this will put layer of file system that you don't need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CoreAPI: which is very scalable, event-based, and has excellent product support.

Backup And Restore: All objects are managed by LXD and using CRUI, we can do live migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It cannot be integrated with K8s, Jenkins, public cloud technology stacks. Not very popular like docker, so not too many discussions are available at StackOverflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of use, minimal resource requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of an integrated web management view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High performance due to running in LXC (Linux Containers), but for single system installs. Compatible with existing Vagrant box workflow via vagrant-lxd provider (and can be coupled without a cloud provider such as vagrant-digitalocean for a high performance local dev that can match affordable staging and production environments and can even spin them up), or via lxdock (less robust and not well maintained anymore).

Setup can be difficult to newcomers, Snap version available for non-Ubuntu distros seems to have some issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

optimization in the use of resources of the server, for the company it is important to be able to take full advantage of a server, without falling into underutilization. It is the software that occupies less resources, very close to the hardware, easy to configure, but it lacks a graphical interface for its administration. In our case we use it with high network availability. I recommend this software 100%, because having powerful servers to offer robust architectures for business is an imperative for any team working within a company.I think that in the near future, the fact of passing a container running from a machine A to a machine B, will be easy to use and quite simple.
