We also started the process of deprecating the various LXD PPAs, see below for details. Our next milestone is LXD 2.21 in about

Introduction The main focus this past week has been on merging a pretty large refactoring branch on top of LXD. This moves a lot of code around to make it more testable and easier to plug in a new database implementation in preparation for some clustering features. We’ve done a few minor improvements like adding

Introduction Another pretty quiet week for LXD as we keep working on a number of larger features that aren’t ready to land yet. Now that the Ubuntu 18.04 development release is open for contributions, we’re pushing LXD 2.19, LXC 2.1.1 and LXCFS 2.0.8 there which will then trickle down to our various PPAs, stable Ubuntu

I read the Hacker News post Heptio Contour and I thought “Cool! A project from our friends at Heptio, lets see what they got for us”. I wont lie to you, at first I was a bit disappointed because there was no special mention for Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes (CDK) but I understand, I am asking too much :). Let me cover this gap here

This article originally appeared in Christian Brauner’s blog Even before LXD gained its new powerful storage API that allows LXD to administer multiple storage pools, one frequent request was to extend the range of available storage drivers (btrfs, dir, lvm, zfs) to include Ceph. Now we are happy to announce that we fulfilled this request

LXDWe’ve taken some preliminary steps in providing the user better feedback when wanting to deploy onto the localhost provider. If conjure-up isn’t able to talk to the same API endpoints Juju can then our probability of success is next to none.We do some fancy realtime UI updates so
