LXD 2.0 will probably be "mostly production ready", but I wouldn't be<br>
surprised if you see a few quick point releases with important fixes<br>
in the first month or two after it's released.<br>
<br>
If I were doing this for a commercial purpose (for business), I would<br>
implement a plan like this:<br>
<br>
1. Set up some test hardware to run LXD on.<br>
2. When Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is released, install LXD and evaluate.<br>
3. Work out any issues you have. Seek commercial support from<br>
Canonical if the open source venue doesn't resolve your issues.<br>
4. Perform extensive testing. If you don't find any issues, then after<br>
3 or 4 months you might consider making this your production<br>
environment.<br>
<br>
If you're doing anything safety critical, mission critical or life<br>
critical, I would extend that 3 to 4 months time frame to at least a<br>
year, though your organization probably should already have a policy<br>
around very formalized testing for that kind of industry.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't recommend using LXD 2.0 in a commercial / mission-critical<br>
production environment outside of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, because it has<br>
several important integration points into the distro (kernel version,<br>
libraries, kernel patches, etc.) -- you'd have to do very extensive<br>
testing to certify it on another distro. Canonical's doing most of<br>
that work for you on Ubuntu, though.<br>
<br>
If you're really risk averse, give it at least another year...<br>
