LXD

https://linuxcontainers.org/

Canonical’s new initiative to create the next big hypervisor around Linux container technologies.

Imagine you could launch a new machine in under a second, and that you could launch hundreds of them on a single server. Hundreds! Now, imagine that you have hardware-guaranteed security to ensure that those machines can'€™t pry or spy on one another. Imagine you can connect them separately and securely to networks. And imagine that you can run that on a single node or a million, live migrate machines between those nodes, and talk to all of it through a clean, extensible REST API. That’€™s what LXD sets out to deliver.
