LXD is a modern container manager and REST API written by LXC upstream and built on top of the LXC library.
Its goal is to offer the same features you would expect from a Virtual Machine hypervisor but using Linux Containers rather than VMs.

This makes it a very light and fast alternative to virtual machines and an ideal option when running Linux in both guest and host.
Some of the main features include:
 - User friendly command line experience
 - Entirely built on top of a REST API (easy remote management)
 - Fine grained resource management for containers
 - Support for device passthrough (network, disk, unix char devices and unix block devices)
 - Helpers to ease GPU and USB passthrough
 - Network management API (create bridges, setup tunnels between hosts, ...)
 - Storage management API (create storage pools for containers, use any of btrfs/lvm/zfs/directory backends)
 - Support for live migration (through CRIU)

The presentation will go over what LXD is in greater details, include a brief overview of its API and be followed by a demonstration of its various features.

LXD is available for Debian users through snapd with native packaging being worked on.
A number of Debian images for LXD are built and published daily.
