LXC vs. Docker
LXD (Canonical's daemon/API front end to lxc containers) is great -- as long as you aren't using the god awful snap package they insist on. The snap is probably fine for single dev machines, but it has zero place in anything production. This is because canonical insists on auto-updating and refreshing the snap at random intervals, even when you pin to a specific version channel. Three times I had to manually recover a cluster of lxd systems that broke during a snap refresh because the cluster couldn't cope with the snaps all refreshing at once.<p>Going forward we built and installed lxd from source.
