What is virt-manager?

The virt-manager application provides a comprehensive desktop interface for managing virtual machines through the libvirt virtualization API. It supports the creation, configuration, and monitoring of KVM virtual machines, Xen domains, and Linux containers. The application presents a summary view of running virtual domains, displaying live performance metrics and resource utilization statistics. Intuitive wizards guide users through the process of creating new virtual machines, while also enabling the adjustment of resource allocations and virtual hardware configurations. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer offers seamless graphical access to the console of guest domains
