Launching LXD Containers
LXD, or the Linux Container Daemon, lets us leverage the resource-light LXC virtualization method, as well as providing additional support for the container images we use to spin up our containers. In this lab, we'll pull down and cache two separate images, then create a series of containers based on these images.
