Running QEMU Images with Virtio, Virsh, and Virt-Manager

Explore advanced techniques for running QEMU virtual machines using libvirt-based tools in this 12-minute talk by Tim Orling from the Yocto Project. Learn how to leverage virsh and virt-manager to enhance your virtualization experience beyond basic 'runqemu' or 'mender-qemu' usage. Discover the process of building QEMU images in qcow2 format, creating libvirt XML domain files with OVMF firmware, and launching them using virsh. See how these setups integrate seamlessly with virt-manager's user-friendly interface, enabling advanced features like host USB device passthrough. Gain insights into optimizing meta-mender for compatibility with these tools, opening up new possibilities for managing Mender images in virtualized environments.
