**LXDoNe** is an addon for OpenNebula to manage **LXD** Containers. It fits in the Virtualization and Monitorization Driver section according to OpenNebula's Architecture. It uses the **pylxd** API for several container tasks. This addon is the continuation of [LXCoNe](https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-lxcone/), an addon for **LXC**. Check the [blog entry](https://opennebula.org/lxdone-lightweight-virtualization-for-opennebula/) in OpenNebula official site.
[LXD](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/) is a daemon which provides a REST API to drive **LXC** containers. Containers are lightweight OS-level Virtualization instances, they behave like Virtual Machines but don't suffer from hardware emulation processing penalties by sharing the kernel with the host. They run bare-metal-like, simple containers can boot up in 2 seconds consuming less than 32MB of RAM and a minimal fraction of a CPU Core. Check out this [performance comparison against KVM](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/05/18/lxd-crushes-kvm-in-density-and-speed/) if you don't know much about LXD.
The master branch is subject to changes. We recommend to use one of the stables [releases](https://github.com/OpenNebula/addon-lxcone/releases) you can check at the top of this page.

## Compatibility ##
**LXDoNe** is not an update of **LXCoNe** so your old containers won't be manageable out of the box. Default compressed LXD images won't work either. For more information read [Virtual Appliance](Image.md).
