In addition to having an LTS release every two years (following the Ubuntu release cadence), LXD also has monthly feature releases. While LTS releases are recommended for production environments, monthly releases are the ones to use in order to get access to the latest features our team is continuously working on. Monthly releases are available in the default snap channel, while the LTS releases are available on the stable channel (–channel=5.0/stable). More information on how to access different snap channels and how to manage the LXD snap is available in the LXD forum.
In this blog, we will go through some of the most significant features we have included in our monthly releases so far this year. Links to each of the release announcements are linked for detailed information.
