This bundle provides the software needed to run virtual machines.
QEMU
====
|CL| provides :abbr:`QEMU (Quick Emulator)` to perform hardware virtualization.
When possible, qemu would be used together with
:abbr:`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)` in order to run virtual machines at
near-native speed.
For more information about how to use qemu, please refer to `qemu.org`_
virsh
=====
|CL| provides the virsh program to manage `libvirt`_ guests and the hypervisor.
libvirtd management daemon is not enabled nor started by default. To enable
the hypervisor, perform the following commands as root.
#. Enable the service to start every time the machine boots.
This step is optional
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable libvirtd.service
#. Start the libvirtd management daemon service
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl start libvirtd.service
Congratulations! The libvirtd management daemon is running and virsh is ready
to be used.
