Very cool post.
Some suggestions…
- You need to identify the virtualization technology you’re using in the subject line and if you do a full write-up, in the title. In your case, it’s KVM.
- Instead of installing your list of packages, you should use the “YAST > Install virtualization” as your starting point, because it’s the recommended method and standard starting point to install KVM or Xen because not only are all desired packages are installed, there is some additional configuration including setting up a default virtual network using a Linux Bridge Device (typically named br0).
- When you create a full write-up, you should be sure to state the current date and likely include a warning that you’re describing a topic which is considered bleeding edge. Although the steps you describe are more mature than previous procedures, it’s anyone’s guess how long what you describe will be effective so the reader needs to know in the future whether your procedures will then still be current or superceded by something else.
Good stuff,
