[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A virtualization toolkit and API [T] Libvirt is a library for management of virtualized operating systems. [T] Initially supporting the Xen hypervisor, it provides a generic driver [T] backend to allow implementations for management of arbitrary hypervisors, [T] paravirtualized kernel solutions, container systems and emulators. [T] libvirt supports: [T] - The Xen hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts. [T] - The QEMU emulator [T] - The KVM Linux hypervisor [T] - The LXC Linux container system [T] - The OpenVZ Linux container system [T] - The User Mode Linux paravirtualized kernel [T] - The VirtualBox hypervisor [T] - The VMware ESX and GSX hypervisors [T] - Storage on IDE/SCSI/USB disks, FibreChannel, LVM, iSCSI, NFS and [T] filesystems [T] The library aims to provide a long term stable API to isolate applications [T] from instability in the APIs of the underlying virtualization technology. [T] The core library API is written in C, with bindings for Python and a [T] command line tool for shell scripting also provided. The library allows [T] either full read-write access to the hypervisor, or for unprivileged use a [T] secure read-only channel (eg for monitoring).
