#### Nimbus LXD application controller

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.
