Two months ago, I wrote about the LXD fork called Incus that was in the works. The first release of Incus is out and looks interesting.
I haven’t installed it yet, but did give it a try online. It is very similar to LXD but has some nice changes.
First, the simplification around instances rather than having separate containers and virtual machines is nice. It breaks backwards compatibility but makes things simpler going forward.
Second, the simplification away from using lxd and lxc commands to just using incus commands is nice. Again, another breaking change that makes things better.
The Registry has a nice write up of the changes but the best source of information is the release post. I plan to install it and give it a go. It might be interesting to see how quickly a Terraform/OpenTofu provider evolves for this new fork.
