I was going to install a KVM virtual machine until I found out about LXD:
LXD is a hypervisor based on Linux containers that provides blindingly fast, very efficient, very low-footprint virtual machines of any Linux on Ubuntu.
LXD crushes KVM in density and speed
- LXD achieves 14.5 times greater density than KVM
- LXD launches instances 94% faster than KVM
- LXD provides 57% less latency than KVM
LXD is the container-based hypervisor lead by Canonical. Today, Canonical published benchmarks showing that LXD runs guest machines 14.5 times more densely and with 57% less latency than KVM.
Sometimes it seems like things are changing so fast that there’s no time to breathe. Anyhow it looks really cool and also fairly straightforward to start using.
