I have DO like cloud hosting and want to provide libvirt compat
endpoint to create/start/stop servers.
I really discourage anyone from trying to fit the libvirt API over a
cloud system.
In general the libvirt API is designed to be fairly host-centric. We did
once have a libvirt driver that targetted a cloud system, but we deleted
it because the libvirt API was a bad fit for case where the concept of
individual hosts is hidden from the user.
I'd really recommend that any cloud hosting exposes one or more of the
common cloud APIs, in particular EC2 compatible API, and possibly an
OpenStack compatible API.
There are also some projects that attempt to provide a cloud API
abstraction layer, in the same way that libvirt provides a host
API abstraction layer. eg libcloud, or the (now defunct IIRC)
deltacloud.

Daniel
