Regarding libvirt, there's fallback to Libvirt provider (part of cockpit-machines) for VMs which are not managed by oVirt.
For the oVirt ones, oVirt API handles all the actions.

It's not yet implemented, but I'm considering to fallback to Libvirt for selected actions in case the oVirt API can't be reached. Like for shut down [1].

Anyway, there's still open question with the Libvirt connection since it's secured on an oVirt host.

This looks great, guys. Congrats!

Does this also work with plain libvirt?

Hi all,
I’m happy to announce that we finally finished initial contribution of oVirt specific support into the Cockpit management platform
See below for more details

There are only limited amount of operations you can do at the moment, but it may already be interesting for troubleshooting and simple admin actions where you don’t want to launch the full blown webadmin UI

Worth noting that if you were ever intimidated by the complexity of the GWT UI of oVirt portals and it held you back from contributing, please take another look!

Thanks,
michal

Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here
are the release notes from version 153.


Add oVirt package
-----------------

This version introduces the "oVirt Machines" page on Fedora for controlling
oVirt virtual machine clusters.  This code was moved into Cockpit as it shares
a lot of code with the existing "Machines" page, which manages virtual machines
through libvirt.

This feature is packaged in cockpit-ovirt and when installed it will replace
the "Machines" page.

Thanks to Marek Libra for working on this!

Packaging cleanup
-----------------

This release fixes a lot of small packaging issues that were spotted by
rpmlint/lintian.
