Hi all \o/

Basically, lxd is like the lxc module, with a bit more feature ie. the ability to manage container images like docker.

Has anyone started any development on the LXD module ?

Is there any recommendation you’d like to make ?

Would you be interrested in a PR ?

Thanks !

A module is in the works at [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2208](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/2208)

Additionally, Ansible 2.1 will ship with an lxd connection plugin for running commands inside a container.

There is also a PR for an lxd inventory at: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15848](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/15848)
