There's +currently support for only one hypervisor, qemu/kvm, support for which +is provided by the github.com/intel/govmm/qemu package. + +The qemu package provides APIs for launching qemu instances and for +managing those instances via QMP, once launched. VM instances can +be stopped, have devices attached to them and monitored for events +via the qemu APIs. + +The qemu package has no external dependencies apart from the Go +standard library and so is nice and easy to vendor inside other +projects.
