Frankly, whether or not I can run 100 gallion Ubuntu servers with LXD on my server with KVM/Xen/a host which needs no virtualization at all on it is irrevelant.
On a brand-new server install (which I prefer to keep to an absolute minimal) on bare-metal on Xenial, I now have: - A bridge that does nothing for me - By extension, a stateful firewall with iptables which a) Could have a negative impact on high throughput hosts b) Gets in the way of hosts which have their firewalls statically configured with Puppet/Ansible/etc - dnsmasq which is running a DNS and DHCP service Do we really need those things on a m1.tiny instance running on AWS? Even purging LXD on a host causes stuff to be left behind: Removing lxc-templates (2.0.0~rc12-0ubuntu1) ... Removing ubuntu-server (1.350) ... Removing lxd (2.0.0~rc5-0ubuntu1) ...
