Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Sage Weil 5745dc123a qemu/rbd: improve rbd device specification
This improves the support for qemu rbd devices by adding support for a few
key features (e.g., authentication) and cleaning up the way in which
rbd configuration options are passed to qemu.

An <auth> member of the disk source xml specifies how librbd should
authenticate. The username attribute is the Ceph/RBD user to authenticate as.
The usage or uuid attributes specify which secret to use. Usage is an
arbitrary identifier local to libvirt.

The old RBD support relied on setting an environment variable to
communicate information to qemu/librbd.  Instead, pass those options
explicitly to qemu.  Update the qemu argument parsing and tests
accordingly.

         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.
