 That's it. Have fun with your self-contained multi-system task runner.
 
+The LXD backend supports setting memory limit for the containers like so:
+
+```
+backends:
+    lxd:
+        memory: 1024M
+        systems:
+            - ubuntu-16.04:
+```

+## LXD VM backend
+
+The LXD VM backend works very much the same as the LXD backend, but instead of
+containers it spins up LXD VMs.
+
+Assuming LXD was successfully installed and configured, setting up the backend
+in your project file is as trivial as:
+
+```
+backends:
+    lxd-vm:
+        systems:
+            - ubuntu-22.04
+```
+
+The image naming and resource limits rules are identical to the LXD backend. By
+default, each VM is created with a single CPU and 1GB memory limit.
