Libvirt: Hypervisor independent virtual machine management

Libvirt provides a stable C API to different virtualization solutions. Bindings for several languages (e.g. Python, Ocaml, Ruby) are available. This makes it easy to write reusable tools to manage virtual machines running under KVM, Xen, QEMU, OpenVZ and others.

Topics covered in this talk are:

  • a quick run through the API including virtual machine creation, network and storage management and device enumeration
  • readily available graphical and commandline tools such as virtinst and virt-manager
