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.

yuelongguang 743db933ed add default mapping of credentials to machine
In the auth config file, it is currently required to have
an entry for each hostname to connect to, eg

  [auth-libvirt-prod1.example.com]
  credentials=prod

This is inconvenient when there are large numbers of machines
all with the same credentials. Add support for a default
entry:

  [auth-default]
  credentials=prod

         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.
