Hi Amit

(re-titled thread with scoped topics)

As Matt has already referenced, [0] is a good starting place for using the
nova-lxd driver.

You only need the above part for nova-lxd (the below snippet is for the
libvirt/lxc driver)

Looking at your logs, it would appear a VIF plugging timeout occurred; was
your cloud functional with Libvirt/KVM before you made the switch to using
nova-lxd?  The neutron log files would be a good place to look so see what
went wrong.
