I don't use Chocolaty. I tried it when I first started coming around here, at the accolades of others; but I just found it didn't easily install or automate about half of the things we need. So I passed without judgment. so instead of using it for the half it does, you simply dumped it? Why not make life easy for as much of it as you can? Because we have our own scripts and installers that automate all of the tasks we need. No need to move 1/2 of our work to another tool. If it handled everything I think I would have jumped at the prospect. But there were still hurdles we didn't get a chance to explore, so I can;t say for certain we would have made the move, but I sure gave it the 'ol college try! You can also, really easily, setup a Nuget repository, since you already have those custom scripts it would be fairly easy to migrate them to Chocolately and have a single installation source.

This one seems to make more sense since its installed from a snap like what Ubuntu does by default. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-install-setup-lxd-on-fedora-linux/

@aaronstuder said in LXC 2.1 Containers Releases: @mlnews said in LXC 2.1 Containers Releases: Not an LTS release. But does it matter? It does if you are a person that wants LTS (e.g. you hate keeping your systems up to date) and like run Ubuntu LTS, and want to update LXC and this would cause an LTS conflict.

I know Canonical is a big supporter of LXD. Who is the big supporter for LXC? LXD is just an interface for LXC. So Canonical supports LXC through LXD. The biggest contributors to LXC are Virtuozzo, IBM and Google. So LXD makes it easier to manage LXC? Yes

I am, yes. Wouldn't this be the expectation? in many if not most cases? If you know my particular case, yes it would be an expectation. In a more common scenario, no, not so much. Wouldn't you typically have LXD on a hypervisor? LXD is a Type-C hypervisor, so while having it on top of a Type 1 is common, having it on bare metal is also common.

That, too.

@mlnews said: The LXD project has announced that LXD 2.0 is now released. This is an LTS release and is the first product release of the technology. LXD 2.0 will be included in Ubuntu 16.04 and will be backported to 14.04 and it is expected to be picked up by other Linux distros shortly. I really wish Red Hat would do more with LXC. It sucks that you have to use Ubuntu to get the cool features like this. If you look at the documentation for RHEL Atomic they have you use docker by attaching and using a shell in the container. Why do that incorrectly when you have Linux containers to do that? Hopefully in RHEL 8 you won't need EPEL to get LXC functionality.

@RamblingBiped said in Containers in IT: Do you automate configuration management and deployment using Puppet? Chef? Ansible? This particular item (DevOps vs. Snowflakes) applies to VMs and containers equally.

Yes, if the just didn't mention it, I would assume that I was going to be using GIT to keep it updated. It's only because they so strongly state otherwise that I looked at the repos.
