- <para>The virtualization stack in Fedora has provided the ability to take "snapshots" of a virtual machine for many releases. These functions have however always required that the virtual machine be paused or stopped while the storage snapshot was created. Recent updates included in Fedora 17 allowed for <package>qemu</package> and <package>libvirt</package> to create snapshots of a virtual machine without requiring any downtime. </para><para>Live snapshot creation now works even for virtual machines using disk images stored in RAW format. In these cases <package>libvirt</package> creates snapshots using external QCOW2 files - transparently switching the virtual machine to run on the new external image(s) once created.</para>

- <para>Fedora 17 included the packages required to support a minimal installation of the oVirt virtualization management platform. This initial offering has been significantly expanded in Fedora 18. In addition to the existing functionality, it is now possible to use a Fedora installation as a fully fledged oVirt "Engine" - providing a graphical management console for your virtualized environments. </para>

- <title>oVirt Engine Installation </title>
- <para>The oVirt Engine provides a browser accessible management console for creating, provisioning, and using virtual machines. It also provides facilities for managing the networking and storage needs of the virtualized environment. For users who want to experience the management console but do not have a spare machine to act as a virtualization host an 'all in one' plugin is provided. The 'all in one' plugin allows a system to act as both the oVirt Engine and as a virtualization host. </para>
