Nimbus is a host-side controller for an Ubuntu Core appliance that manages a
nested LXD container and Docker-based application workloads. The snap runs
the Nimbus UI and API outside the container, talks to LXD through the lxd
interface using pylxd, and bootstraps an in-container Nimbus agent for bounded
future operations.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
