it says : Run the commands to deploy the evaluation cloud:
does evaluation cloud means that it’ll expire sometime after the installation?
Hi @Liorme!
miniONE is a simple deployment tool for installing a single-node KVM, LXD or Firecraker cloud inside a virtual machine or physical host. It’s just not designed for setting up OpenNebula in a production environment, but it’s under Apache License 2.0 so you can of course use it for as long as you wish 
oh, thank you 
what does it mean “not designed” ? how so?
also, i understand the kvm structure. but what’s the different between lxd and firecracker? i’m mostly asking for the usage of containers
Hi @Liorme!
miniONE typically deploys OpenNebula on a single server (both front-end and a hypervisor node): GitHub - OpenNebula/minione: Easy to use deployment tool for an OpenNebula evaluation environment
For a quick review of the many other options that come with the standard distribution (https://opennebula.io/use/), here you have a whitepaper that you might find helpful:

LXD is a system container manager (Linux Containers - LXD - Has been moved to Canonical) whereas Firecracker can be used to run application containers (i.e. Docker Hub images) ‘inside’ a microVM.
