Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) is based on libvirt and supports several Hypervisors

In computing, the Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager, also known as virt-manager, is a desktop-driven virtual machine manager with which users can manage virtual machines (VMs).[2]

Virtual Machine Manager allows users to:

  • create, edit, start and stop VMs

  • use KVM, Xen or QEMU virtual machines, running either locally or remotely.
