LXD: Weekly Status #15

Stéphane Graber

on 18 September 2017

This article is more than 6 years old.


Introduction

This week has been pretty quiet as far as upstream changes since half the team was attending the Open Source Summity, the Linux Plumbers Conference and the Linux Security Summit in Los Angeles, California.

We got to talk with other container runtime maintainers, kernel developers and users, having a lot of very productive discussions that should lead to a number of exciting features going forward.

Outside of that, we’ve been focusing on tweaks to the LXD snap, having it work on more platforms and better handle module loading. LXD 2.18 will work properly for Solus 3 users and we’re almost ready with Fedora 26, OpenSUSE 42.3 and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed too.

LXD 2.18 is scheduled to be released tomorrow (Tuesday 19th of September).

Upcoming conferences and events

  • Open Source Summit Europe (Prague, October 2017)
  • Linux Piter 2017 (St. Petersburg – November 2017)
