meta-virtualization
===================
This layer provides support for building Xen, KVM, Libvirt, and associated
packages necessary for constructing OE-based virtualized solutions.
The meta-virtualization layer is the authoritative resource for virtualization
technologies in OpenEmbedded / Yocto built distributions. It provides support
or both hypervisor-based virtualization (such as KVM, Xen, and QEMU) and
system-level virtualization (Linux containers), along with the host and guest
technologies required to build complete solutions ranging from embedded systems
to full deep CNCF stack deployments.
The bbappend files for some recipes (e.g. linux-yocto) in this layer need to
have 'virtualization' in DISTRO_FEATURES to have effect. To enable them, add
