What is virt-manager?
The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics. Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain’s resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain.
Comments and Reviews
Just because VirtualBox is not in Debian packages anymore, I could not trust it any further. There is where Virt Manager kicks in with its far more advanced interface. Found it as an alternative to VirtualBox and didn't regret even a little. Highly recommended fully open source software (FOSS).
