+Abstract
+========
+
+This document compiles the release notes for the Colorado release of
+OPNFV when using JOID as a deployment tool with LXD container hypervisor.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+These notes provides release information for the use of joid as deployment
+tool for the Colorado release of OPNFV with LXD hypervisor for containers
+scenario.
+
+The goal of the Colorado release and this JOID based deployment process is
+to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
+of the OPNFV infrastructure.
+
+Carefully follow the installation-instructions which guides a user to deploy
+OPNFV using JOID which is based on MAAS and Juju.
+
+Summary
+=======
+
+ LXD is a lightweight container hypervisor for full system containers,
+unlike Docker and Rocket which is for application containers. This means that
+the container will look and feel like a regular VM – but will act like a
+container. LXD uses the same container technology found in the Linux kernel
+(cgroups, namespaces, LSM, etc).
+
+Colorado release with the JOID deployment with LXD hypervisor will establish an
+OPNFV target system on a Pharos compliant lab infrastructure.
+The current definition of an OPNFV target system is and OpenStack Mitaka combined
+with LXD Hypervisor.
+
+ The system is deployed with OpenStack High Availability (HA) for most OpenStack services.
+
+ User has following choices to make to do the deployment.
+
+ - Openstack -- Mitaka
+ - Type -- HA, nonHA, tip (stable git branch of respective openstack)
+ - Feature -- LXD (container hypervisor)
+
+NOTE: Detailed information on how to install in your lab can be find in installation guide
+command to deploy lxd feature is:
+
+#LXD deployment with HA Openstack
+./deploy.sh -o mitaka -f lxd -t ha -l custom -s nosdn
+
+#LXD deployment with no HA Openstack
+./deploy.sh -o mitaka -f lxd -t nonha -l custom -s nosdn
+
+Using LXD with Openstack
+========================
+
+Once you have finished installinf the JOID with LXD container hypervisor you can use the
+following to uplod your lxd image to the glance server that LXD can use.
+In order to do that you simply have to do the following:
+
+wget -O xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz \
+https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz
+
+glance image-create --name="Xenial LXC x86_64" --visibility=public --container-format=bare \
+--disk-format=root-tar --property architecture="x86_64" xenial-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz
+
+After you upload the image to glance then you will be ready to go. If you have any questions
+please don’t hesitate to ask on the LXC mailing, #lxcontainers IRC channel on freenode
