Until now we use the words 'virtual machine', 'guest' and
'domain' interchangeably
in our discussions and documentation. 'virtual machine' seems to be the most
common (and the standard term in our industry), whereas 'guest' is less common,
and 'domain' seems to be a implementation legacy from Xen. Using 'virtual
machine'
here is easier on newbies, gives us a (useful) shorter abbreviation of 'vm', and
brings us more into line with industry standards.
I don't think virtual machine is suitable for virsh, because that implies
full machine virtualization. libvirt/virsh can also be used for containers
/ OS virtualization. Domain/Guest are the only ones that really cover both
possible usages.
