Under the Hood with Nova, Libvirt and KVM features Metacloud's CTO, Rafi Khardalian. The Libvirt driver for Nova is one of the most comprehensive implementations across all supported hypervisors. It is quite common for new functionality to be added Libvirt before it hits the others. API calls to manage instances generally translate to a complex set of interactions between Nova, Libvirt and QEMU/KVM. During this talk, we will go under the hood to understand exactly what our KVM hypervisors are doing when various requests are made.
