Eric Blake and Guido Günther were guests during this week's FLOSS Weekly podcast, giving insights into libvirt as a Free Software project. Also, there are several useful blogs on virt-related topics. * docs/relatedlinks.html.in (Blogs and Podcasts): New section. (cherry picked from commit a0ac7450d910d75582643123ad66f651afd5aa58)
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
