Hello,
I am wondering what is the difference between libvirt and qemu?and how they
are related to KVM?
Libvirt is a library API providing the ability to manager a number
of virtualizaton technologies, including Xen, QEMU, KVM, VMWare,
etc.
QEMU is a virtual machine & CPU emulator. KVM is a kernel hypervisor
providing hardware acceleration for QEMU virtual machine CPUs. Virtio
is an accelerated I/O layer for disk, networking & other misc devices.
