<h1>Applications using <strong>libvirt</strong></h1>
<p>
This page provides an illustration of the wide variety of
applications using the libvirt management API. If you know
of interesting applications not listed on this page, send
a message to the <a href="contact.html">mailing list</a>
to request that it be added here. If your application uses
libvirt as its API, the following graphic is available for
your website to advertise support for libvirt:

<h2>Command line tools</h2>
<dl>
<dt>virsh</dt>
<dd>
An interactive shell, and batch scriptable tool for performing
management tasks on all libvirt managed domains, networks and
storage. This is part of the libvirt core distribution.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-install</a></dt>
<dd>
Provides a way to provision new virtual machines from a
OS distribution install tree. It supports provisioning from
local CD images, and the network over NFS, HTTP and FTP.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-clone</a></dt>
<dd>
Allows the disk image(s) and configuration for an existing
virtual machine to be cloned to form a new virtual machine.
It automates copying of data across to new disk images, and
updates the UUID, Mac address and name in the configuration
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-image</a></dt>
<dd>
Provides a way to deploy virtual appliances. It defines a
simplified portable XML format describing the pre-requisites
of a virtual machine. At time of deployment this is translated
into the domain XML format for execution under any libvirt
hypervisor meeting the pre-requisites.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df/">virt-df</a></dt>
<dd>
Examine the utilization of each filesystem in a virtual machine
from the comfort of the host machine. This tool peeks into the
guest disks and determines how much space is used. It can cope
with common Linux filesystems and LVM volumes.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top/">virt-top</a></dt>
<dd>
Watch the CPU, memory, network and disk utilization of all
virtual machines running on a host.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Desktop applications</h2>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-manager</a></dt>
<dd>
A general purpose desktop management tool, able to manage
virtual machines across both local and remotely accessed
hypervisors. It is targetted at home and small office usage
upto managing 10-20 hosts and their VMs.
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://virt-manager.org/">virt-viewer</a></dt>
<dd>
A lightweight tool for accessing the graphical console
associated with a virtual machine. It can securely connect
to remote consoles supporting the VNC protocol. Also provides
an optional mozilla browser plugin.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Web applications</h2>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://ovirt.org/">oVirt</a></dt>
<dd>
oVirt provides the ability to manage large numbers of virtual
machines across an entire data center of hosts. It integrates
with FreeIPA for Kerberos authentication, and in the future,
certificate management.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>LiveCD / Appliances</h2>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/">virt-p2v</a></dt>
<dd>
A tool for converting a physical machine into a virtual machine. It
is a LiveCD which is booted on the machine to be converted. It collects
a little information from the user and then copies the disks over to
a remote machine and defines the XML for a domain to run the guest.
