This is going to be a blog post series similar to [what I’ve done for LXC 1.0](https://www.stgraber.org/2013/12/20/lxc-1-0-blog-post-series/) a couple years back. The topics that will be covered are: * [LXD 2.0: Introduction to LXD [1/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/14/lxd-2-0-introduction-to-lxd/) * [LXD 2.0: Installing and configuring LXD [2/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/16/lxd-2-0-installing-and-configuring-lxd-212/) * [LXD 2.0: Your first LXD container [3/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/22/lxd-2-0-your-first-lxd-container/) * [LXD 2.0: Resource control [4/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/30/lxd-2-0-resource-control-412/) * [LXD 2.0: Image management [5/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/01/lxd-2-0-image-management-512) * [LXD 2.0: Remote hosts and container migration [6/12]](http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/13/lxd-2-0-remote-hosts-and-container-migration-612/) * [LXD 2.0: Docker in LXD [7/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/13/stephane-graber-lxd-2-0-docker-in-lxd-712/) * [LXD 2.0: LXD in LXD [8/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/15/lxd-2-0-lxd-in-lxd-812/) * [LXD 2.0: Live migration [9/12]](http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/25/lxd-2-0-live-migration-912/) * [LXD 2.0: LXD and Juju [10/12]](http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/06/08/lxd-2-0-lxd-and-juju/) * [LXD 2.0: LXD and OpenStack [11/12]](http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/12/07/lxd-2-0-lxd-and-openstack-1112/) * [LXD 2.0: Debugging and contributing to LXD [12/12]](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/02/27/lxd-2-0-debugging-and-contributing-to-lxd-1212) I’m hoping to post a couple of those every week for the coming month and a half leading to the Ubuntu 16.04 release. If you can’t wait for all of those to come out to play with LXD, you can also take the guided tour and play with LXD, online through [our online demo page](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/try-it/).
