> I will say that I prefer running LXD on NixOS hosts where it isn't packaged as a snap. Hopefully canonical doesn't somehow break that. Same, though it seems this acquisition is mainly about snaps, so we'll see. I wish Nix would package Kata, a hybrid of containers and VMs. I would migrate to that from LXD. https://katacontainers.io/ It does have Firecracker and Ignite though, which I haven't tested but probably also suffice. https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/ https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite
In LXD is now under Canonical
