The output table from list is not very clear. I don't understand what to reference to use the "launch" command. Will put explanation here once figured out. Here is what I can tell,

Spinning Up an LXD Container

...

  1. References the ubuntu: Image Server List
    1. Looks for 16.01 images
    2. Matches the current architecture of the machine you are on (in my example 
  2. Checks the cache Image Store for the required image
  3. Download (if not in Image Store) the target image
  4. Setup Container called container01 with default settings
  5. Install the target image into container01
  6. Start container01

We can see the downloaded target image,

Code Block
languagebash
lxc image list
+-------+--------------+--------+---------------------------------------------+--------+----------+------------------------------+
| ALIAS | FINGERPRINT  | PUBLIC |                 DESCRIPTION                 |  ARCH  |   SIZE   |         UPLOAD DATE          |
+-------+--------------+--------+---------------------------------------------+--------+----------+------------------------------+
|       | f4c9feb3e401 | no     | ubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64 (release) (20161205) | x86_64 | 143.53MB | Dec 22, 2016 at 3:37am (UTC) |
+-------+--------------+--------+---------------------------------------------+--------+----------+------------------------------+

Now instead of empty, we see the downloaded image which matches our architecture.

Also, let's look at the running container,

Code Block
languagebash
lxc list
+-------------+---------+----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
|    NAME     |  STATE  |         IPV4         | IPV6 |    TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-------------+---------+----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
| container01 | RUNNING | 10.
