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.

Matthias Bolte e4938ce2f1 esx: Restrict vpx:// to handle a single host in a vCenter
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.

Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.

esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.

Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.

         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.
