LXCFS is a small FUSE file system written with the intention of making Linux containers feel more like a virtual machine. It started as a side project of LXC but can be used by any run-time.

Python-vagrant is a Python module that provides a thin wrapper around the vagrant command line executable, allowing programmatic control of Vagrant virtual machines.

This package provides Python bindings to the libvirt virtualization library.

Bochs is a highly portable IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors. Bochs is capable of running most operating systems inside the emulation including GNU/Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows.

Osinfo-db provides the database files for use with the libosinfo library. It provides information about guest operating systems for use with virtualization provisioning tools

runc is a command line client for running applications packaged according to the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format and is a compliant implementation of the Open Container Initiative specification.

The agent gathers some guest information, and writes them to xenstore so tooling in dom0 can read it. The default behavior is to be compatible with the XAPI toolstack as currently used in XCP-ng and Citrix Hypervisor/Xenserver, and thus roughly follow what xe-guest-utilities is doing.

This package provides a GTK+ support for open-vm-tools.

umoci is a tool that allows for high-level modification of an Open Container Initiative (OCI) image layout and its tagged images.

Spike, the RISC-V ISA Simulator, implements a functional model of one or more RISC-V harts.

Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

This package contains a set of tools to assist administrators and developers in managing the database.

transient is a wrapper for QEMU allowing the creation of virtual machines with shared folder, ssh, and disk creation support.

The libtpms library provides software emulation of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0).

This package provides a Vagrant plugin that helps you reduce the amount of coffee you drink while waiting for boxes to be provisioned by sharing a common package cache among similar VM instances. Kinda like vagrant-apt_cache or this magical snippet but targeting multiple package managers and Linux distros.

libguestfs is a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine (VM) disk images. You can use this for viewing and editing files inside guests, scripting changes to VMs, monitoring disk used/free statistics, creating guests, P2V, V2V, performing backups, cloning VMs, building VMs, formatting disks, resizing disks, and much more.

Vagrant is the command line utility for managing the lifecycle of virtual machines. Isolate dependencies and their configuration within a single disposable and consistent environment.

Note: Make sure to have ssh and rsync installed — if you use the respective Vagrant functions. This package does not link to any specific implementation of these to allow different clients and to avoid configuration conflicts when running on a `foreign distribution'.

Ganeti is a virtual machine management tool built on top of existing virtualization technologies such as Xen or KVM. Ganeti controls:

• Disk creation management;

• Operating system installation for instances (in co-operation with OS-specific install scripts); and

• Startup, shutdown, and failover between physical systems.

Ganeti is designed to facilitate cluster management of virtual servers and to provide fast and simple recovery after physical failures, using commodity hardware.

The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, but also manages Xen and LXC (Linux containers). It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance and resource utilization statistics.

vagrant-spec is a both a specification of how Vagrant and its various components should behave as well as a library of testing helpers that let you write your own unit and acceptance tests for Vagrant.

QEMU is a generic machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine---e.g., your own PC. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance.

When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.

Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux. The library aims at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

The XenServer guest utilities enable a Xen-based hypervisor, (Citrix XenServer, XCP-NG, etc.) to work with a Xen-enabled Unix-like guest VMs. This allows the guest to share information about its state back to the host, such IP address, memory usage, etc. and allows the host to inform the guest VM about events that change the virtualized hardware, such as hotplugging.
