### Other community resources

You can find additional resources on the [LXD website](https://canonical.com/lxd), on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuP6xPt0WTeZu32CkQPpbvA), and the [community-created tutorials](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/c/lxd/tutorials/146).

## Commercial support

LTS releases of LXD receive standard support for five years, which means they receive continuous updates. Commercial support for LXD is provided as part of [Ubuntu Pro](https://ubuntu.com/pro) (both Infra-only and full Ubuntu Pro), including for [attached LXD instances running Ubuntu](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/stable-5.21/howto/ubuntu_pro_guest_attach/). See the [full service description](https://ubuntu.com/legal/ubuntu-pro-description) for details.

Managed solutions and firefighting support are also available for LXD deployments. See: [Managed services](https://ubuntu.com/managed).
