[lxc-users] LXD project status

[Saint Michael]

I am using LCX, plain vanilla. Is there a reading the can help me move to
LXD 3.0? I am afraid I cannot see why would anybody use LXD vs regular LXC.
I can do anything I need, so far, with LXC. To copy a container to another
server I use rsync with some special parameters.
In general what is the great advantage of using LXD?
