-# Run VyOS on Libvirt QEMU/KVM
-
-Libvirt is an open-source API, daemon, and management tool for managing platform
-virtualization. You can deploy VyOS on libvirt KVM in several ways:
-using Virt-Manager or the native CLI. This example uses 4 gigabytes
-of memory, 2 CPU cores, and the default network `virbr0`.
-
-## CLI
-
-### Deploy from ISO
-
-Create VM name `vyos_r1`. You must specify the path to the `ISO` image,
-the disk `qcow2` will be created automatically. The `default` network is
-the virtual network (type Virtio) created by the hypervisor with NAT.
-
-```none
-$ virt-install -n vyos_r1 \
-  --ram 4096 \
-  --vcpus 2 \
-  --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos.iso \
-  --os-variant debian10 \
-  --network network=default \
-  --graphics vnc \
-  --hvm \
-  --virt-type kvm \
-  --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_r1.qcow2,bus=virtio,size=8 \
-  --noautoconsole
-```
-
-Connect to the VM with the command `virsh console vyos_r1`
-
-```none
-$ virsh console vyos_r1
-
-Connected to domain vyos_r1
-Escape character is ^]
-
-vyos login: vyos
-Password:
-
-vyos@vyos:~$ install image
-```
-
-After installation, exit the console using the key combination
-`Ctrl + ]` and reboot the system.
-
-### Deploy from qcow2
-
-The benefit of using {abbr}`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)`
-images is that they don't require installation.
-Download the predefined VyOS `.qcow2` image.
-
-```none
-curl --url link_to_vyos_kvm.qcow2 --output /var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_kvm.qcow2
-```
-
-Create VM with `import` qcow2 disk option.
-
-```none
-$ virt-install -n vyos_r2 \
-   --ram 4096 \
-   --vcpus 2 \
-   --os-variant debian10 \
-   --network network=default \
-   --graphics vnc \
-   --hvm \
-   --virt-type kvm \
-   --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vyos_kvm.qcow2,bus=virtio \
-   --import \
-   --noautoconsole
-```
-
-Connect to the VM with the command `virsh console vyos_r2`
-
-```none
-$ virsh console vyos_r2
-
-Connected to domain vyos_r2
-Escape character is ^]
-
-vyos login: vyos
-Password:
-
-vyos@vyos:~$
-```
-
-If you cannot access the login screen, the KVM console may be set as the
-default boot option.
-
-Open a secondary session and run this command to reboot the VM:
-
-```none
-$ virsh reboot vyos_r2
-```
-
-Then go to the first session where you opened the console.
-Select `VyOS 1.4.x for QEMU (Serial console)` and press `Enter`.
-
-The system is fully operational.
-
-## Virt-Manager
-
-The Virt-Manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual
-machines through libvirt. On Linux, open the
-{abbr}`VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)`.
-

-
-### Deploy from ISO
-
-1. Open {abbr}`VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)` and create a new
-   {abbr}`VM (Virtual Machine)`
-2. Choose `Local install media` (ISO)
