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.
libvirtd can spawn threads/tasks when creating new domains for
some hypervisors such as Xen's libxl driver, quickly reaching
the cgroups pids controller default TasksMax setting of 512. When
the limit is reached, attempting to create additional domains
results in an error from the cgroups pids controller, e.g.
kernel: [71282.213347] cgroup: fork rejected by pids controller in
/system.slice/libvirtd.service
Depending on domain type and configuration, anywhere from 4-7
threads/tasks may be created by libxl when starting a domain.
In order to support 4096 domains, similar to commit

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.
