lxc profile command [options]

lxc profile manages configuration profiles for LXD containers and virtual machines. Profiles define reusable sets of configuration options including resource limits, device mappings, network settings, and security policies.
Containers can use multiple profiles, which are applied in order (later profiles override earlier ones). The default profile is automatically applied to new containers and typically includes basic network and storage configuration.
Profile configuration uses YAML format, specifying options like CPU/memory limits, disk quotas, network interfaces, and GPU passthrough.
