Overlay network for Juju LXC containers?

[Patrik Karisch]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the answer.

According to AWS, all the instances must be created inside a VPC to bind
the lxcbr0 to the AWS network and get an IP allocated?

Since Digital Ocean provider is a simple plugin and basically based on
manual provsioning the best solution would be to activate Fan networking on
my machines manually? Are there any docs how I can point Juju to get a Fan
IP address for the containers? Mark Shuttleworths blog post says it's super
easy for LXD, Docker and Juju but shows only a Docker cli example.

Best regards
Patrik
