Nova supports hypervisors via virt drivers. Nova has the following in tree
virt drivers:
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``libvirt.LibvirtDriver``
This driver runs on Linux and supports multiple hypervisor backends, which
can be configured via the :oslo.config:option:`libvirt.virt_type` config
option.
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``xenapi.XenAPIDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``ironic.IronicDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``vmwareapi.VMwareVCDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``hyperv.HyperVDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``powervm.PowerVMDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``zvm.ZVMDriver``
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``fake.FakeDriver``
This driver does not spawn any virtual machines and therefore should only be
used during testing.
