[lxc-users] Running LXD on those new ARM64 cloud servers by Scaleway

[Simos Xenitellis]

Hi All,

I've put together my notes about running LXD on those new ARM64 cloud
servers by Scaleway.

tl;dr:

1. These are inexpensive cloud servers. Not baremetal, but KVM. On
ARM64 (Cavium ThunderX) hardware.
2. The Linux kernel lacks ZFS support, thus requires to compile it by
hand. Takes time and effort (-1). Have script (+1).
3. LXD complains that AppArmor is not complete, thus requires config
option to continue. Not sure what is missing.
4. Overall it works, however Scaleway need to step up their game and
offer a proper Ubuntu Linux kernel.
