virtualization abstraction library

The libvirt project provides an API for managing the capabilities of many virtualization technologies, including KVM, QEMU, LXC, Xen, VMWare ESX, Parallels, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, Hyper-V and more. It includes bindings into many programming languages and mappings to SNMP, CIM, and GObject.

Libvirt is a library used by many applications with very different use cases like Jenkins, OpenStack, libguestfs, Munin, oVirt, Kimchi, virt-manager, Salt or Cuckoo.
