Incus project had a busy 2024 with 12 feature releases, 1 LTS release, and 3 LTS bugfix releases.
Incus 6.0 LTS was released in April 2024, which now represents around half the Incus user base.
Notable feature additions such as OCI support, clustered LVM storage backend, network integrations, and automatic cluster re-balancing were made in 2024.
Several performance issues were addressed and resolved in large Incus systems, especially systems with multiple NUMA nodes.
Incus is now readily available on several Linux distributions, and available as a Docker container to run on most other platforms.
Incus OS, a fully immutable OS image to solely focus on running Incus, is in the works and will be ready for early adopters in a few weeks.
The year 2024 was a good one for Incus and its community with releases, improved performance, and easier deployment options.
In 2025, the potential lies in continued improvement of Incus, expansion of supporting projects like incus-deploy, and launching of Incus OS.
Funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund will support various Incus-related projects aimed at critical and essential work for the project.
