First phase of project is to provide following scripts:

Conventions

1. project directory layout
2. virtual machine directory
3. monitor locking
4. snapshot management

features

• sound - you get VM sound automatically redirected to your spice client
• usb - you can connect host usb devices using vws script or connect devices from the machine where your spice client is run via its GUI.
• cdrom - you can "insert" or "eject" iso images into virtual machine CD-ROM drive
• remote access - by default VM is accessable via localhost only. If you set environment variable SPICE_PASSWORD to some password, you can access VMs via network using this password.
• snapshots - you can start VM in snapshot mode, where no changes to VM filesystem is save after VM shutdown. You can have stack of on-disk snapshots of known-good vm state, which can be restored anytime (but only powered-off vms can be snapshotted or reverted).
• moving around - you can copy vm to other host (when it is powered off) just copying its files.
• Easy import. You can create VMs based on virtual disk images from VMWare, Virtual box, virt-manager and so on. Any image, understandable by qemu-img would do
