+notes:
+  - Containers must have a unique name. If you attempt to create a container
+    with a name that already existed in the users namespace the module will
+    simply return as "unchanged".
+  - There are two ways to run commands in containers, using the command
+    module or using the ansible lxd connection plugin bundled in Ansible >=
+    2.1, the later requires python to be installed in the container which can
+    be done with the command module.
+  - You can copy a file from the host to the container
+    with the Ansible M(copy) and M(template) module and the `lxd` connection plugin.
+    See the example below.
+  - You can copy a file in the created container to the localhost
+    with `command=lxc file pull container_name/dir/filename filename`.
+    See the first example below.
