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.

Daniel P. Berrangé f8ec7c842d rpc: use new virt-ssh-helper binary for remote tunnelling
This wires up support for using the new virt-ssh-helper binary with the ssh,
libssh and libssh2 protocols.

The new binary will be used preferentially if it is available in $PATH,
otherwise we fall back to traditional netcat.

The "proxy" URI parameter can be used to force use of netcat e.g.

  qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=netcat

or the disable fallback e.g.

  qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=native

With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs

  qemu+ssh://host/session

and this will only use virt-ssh-helper, with no fallback. This also lets
the libvirtd process be auto-started, and connect directly to the
modular daemons, avoiding use of virtproxyd back-compat tunnelling.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
