oVirt provides a robust, browser-accessible management portal for orchestrating KVM-based virtualized environments. It enables administrators to provision, monitor, and manage virtual machines, hosts, storage, and networking across an enterprise-grade infrastructure directly from a web browser, streamlining the deployment and operation of virtualized workloads. The web interface serves as the primary control plane for all virtualization operations, from initial setup to daily maintenance and scaling.
