After you've got LXD installed and a session with the right permissions, you
can take your [first steps](#first-steps).
+## Using the REST API directly
+Here's a simple example of REST API usage via cURL:
+```bash
+curl -k -L -I \
+ --cert ${LXD_API_CRT} \
+ --key ${LXD_API_KEY} \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -X POST \
+ -d @hello-ubuntu.json \
+ "${LXD_API_URL}/containers"
+```
+where `hello-ubuntu.json` could contain:
+```json
+{
+ "name":"some-ubuntu",
+ "architecture":"x86_64",
+ "profiles":[
+ "default"
+ ],
+ "ephemeral":true,
+ "config":{
+ "limits.cpu":"2"
+ },
+ "source": {
+ "type":"image",
+ "mode":"pull",
+ "protocol":"simplestreams",
+ "server":"https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases";,
+ "alias":"14.04"
+ }
+}
+```
