   I am playing with lxd, not for lxc containers but for vm (qemu-kvm) and it works really nice!

     @benoit Is it better than libvirt?

     @benoit Isn't there also a daemon to manage multiple containers and VMs? And what do the config files look like? I hate those libvirt XML configs, yeah.

     @codewiz I can't say, it's been a long time I used virsh and co.

     But yeah LXD is amazing I love it to manage my containers, and now my VMs.

     I can create ZFS volumes and mount them into VMs via virtiofs with 2 commands.

     lxc storage volume create [...]
     lxc config device add [...]

     Everything else is managed via a few commands, no need to edit some cryptic XML.
