Description

Virtualization managers can control different hypervisors through one shared API.

This library is useful for tools that create, start, stop, inspect, migrate, or configure virtual machines and containers across engines such as KVM, QEMU, Xen, OpenVZ, and VirtualBox. It does not add a complete graphical manager by itself; frontends and services use it as the control layer.

Virtualization control can affect disks, networks, snapshots, permissions, and running guests. Use trusted tools and understand what changes are being applied.
