libvirt could help in reference to the points elsewhere in this thread about some people prefering to use a Web UI, and others preferring to automate with command line tools. The command line virsh tool would see exactly the same state as the Web UI & they'd each see the results of the other's changes. We realize there are some things that libvirt doesn't support in its APIs yet, and so welcome feedback from any users & developers about capabilites that they need so we can adapt & prioritize future development plans.
