 BTW not sure if you saw it, but foreman supports libvirt/kvm out of

 weeks), vmware and ec2.

 if you have any improvement suggestions, or why foreman was not good
 enough, would love to hear that..

I actually plan to use Foreman to handle provision / configuration.
From some videos I've seen around the net I'll likely use Foreman to
provision new systems on KVM as well.  Something like OpenQRM is for
things like console access, pool management, snapshots, migrations so
on.  Really this move to GUI management is more for the continuity of
my projects in my absence or to allow someone not familiar with Puppet
and KVM command line management to assist me in day-to-day
operations.  Plus my bosses' boss is hung up on having a Cloud and a
nice shinny web interface(s) will help sell my proposed open-source
cloud rather than my counter-part's Microsoft cloud.  Some people just
don't appreciate command-line.

Thank

Honestly, I switched to KVM a few years ago and never looked at Xen
again, however, saying that, we support libvirt, so I think it should
be straight forward as simply to changing the domain xml template (in
vendor/plugins/virt/templates).
