LXD, a modern system container and virtual machine manager developed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has just released LXD 6.6, marking the sixth feature launch in the 6.x series.

One of the headline additions is support for instance placement groups, giving administrators more control over how virtual machines and containers are distributed across cluster members. Kubernetes users receive a new LXD Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver, streamlining volume provisioning and integrating more cleanly with Kubernetes storage workflows.
