virt-manager is a GUI-based virtual machine manager which allows you to create and manage (local or remote) virtual machines and containers via libvirt APIs. It supports multiple hypervisors such as KVM, QEMU, Xen, as well as LXC containers. While virt-manager is available in most distros’ base repositories, the pre-built virt-manager package always falls behind the latest releases available from the official website.
