canonical's LXD cli syntax seems perfect fit for use w/Rundeck to manage massive numbers of local or remote LXC containers

[brian mullan]

I'm a recent user of rundeck but a long time user of LXC containers.
I've been thinking for quite a while that this upcoming LXD release could be an incredible enabler for Rundeck to manage/provision almost a limitless number of local & remote LXC containers.

Look at the CLI commands in the url:   https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/

It would seem that Rundeck can make perfect use of the CLI syntax like below which would create a new container using an "ubuntu" os template (there are centos, fedora, debian etc avail also)

lxc launch ubuntu my-new-container

So I'm going to get back to spending some more time with Rundeck and experiment with all of this.

Any thoughts?

Here was the video from the LXD/LXC project lead developer Stephane Graber's

presentation this morning at the Ubuntu Developers online conference.

Its pretty feaking amazing what this LXD can do if you watch the video Stephane spins up/down, clones, live migrates LXC containers both on his local machine and on remote servers and its all a simple CLI command syntax.

You can also execute any remote command you have permissions for on the local/remote servers

This page has a lot of examples:   https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/specs/command-line-user-experience.md
