The changes in this release include
Features:
- The
lxc start/stop/restart/pausecommands now accept a new--allflag. - Introduced a new
infinibanddevice type which supports physical
passthrough of Infiniband devices as well as SR-IOV allocated cards. - Added a new
security.devlxdconfiguration key to control the
presence of /dev/lxd inside the container. - Added support for incremental memory copy with container live-migration.
This is controlled by a set of newmigration.incremental.memory
configuration keys. - A new
boot.stop.priorityconfiguration key can be used to control
container shutdown order when LXD is brought down. - LXD users that use MAAS to manage their networks can now have LXD
directly drive MAAS, recording all containers in MAAS and setting up
static allocations in MAAS managed subnets.
This is controlled with themaas.api.urlandmaas.api.key
daemon keys as well as themaas.subnet.ipv4andmaas.subnet.ipv6
network interface configuration keys.
