LXD Description
LXD is the next generation system container manager. It provides a similar user experience to virtual machines, but with Linux containers instead. It is image-based and has pre-made images for a variety of Linux distributions. It is built around a powerful, but simple, REST API. You can get a better understanding of LXD and its capabilities by trying it online. If you are interested in running it locally, then take a look to our getting started guide. Canonical Ltd founded the LXD project and leads it today. Contributions from other companies and individuals are also welcome. LXD's core is a privileged daemon that exposes a REST API both over a local socket and over the network (if it is enabled). Clients, such the command line tool included with LXD, then access that REST API to perform all tasks. This means that everything works the same regardless of whether you are talking to a local host or remote server.

Fairwinds Insights
Protect and optimize mission-critical Kubernetes apps. Fairwinds Insights, a Kubernetes configuration validation tool, monitors your Kubernetes containers and recommends improvements. The software integrates trusted open-source tools, toolchain integrations and SRE expertise, based on hundreds successful Kubernetes deployments. The need to balance the speed of engineering and the reactive pace of security can lead to messy Kubernetes configurations, as well as unnecessary risk. It can take engineering time to adjust CPU or memory settings. This can lead to over-provisioning of data centers capacity or cloud compute. While traditional monitoring tools are important, they don't offer everything necessary to identify and prevent changes that could affect Kubernetes workloads.
