Looking at my question now it occurs to me I could have written it better.

The question should have been: Is there any chance of extending the libvirt plugin to support something other than the limited set of VM engines and features that are currently supported.

I am currently using libvirt with Xen and would love to be able to provision a host directly from foreman.

    libvirt supports KVM/QEMU, Xen, LXC, OpenVZ, UML, VirtualBox,
    VMware, Hyper-V, PowerVM, Virtuozzo, Bhyve.

    Foreman's libvirt interface only partly supports KVM.

libvirt really supports KVM well, all the rest or maintained or not, but nearly always on the host level (for example, you could manage vmware esx host, but not a vmware vsphere).

    Is there any chance of extending support to other VM engines?


we support many via compute resource plugins, see https://theforeman.org/plugins and the supported virt at https://theforeman.org/introduction.html
