Linux Virtualization

Distro support

Two-family skill. KVM/libvirt (virsh, virt-install) is portable across both families; LXD system containers are Ubuntu-centric (Canonical/snap) with no native LXD on RHEL. Body uses Debian/Ubuntu; substitute per this matrix.

Application containers (Docker/Podman) moved out of this skill. For the container engine, running containers, and image cleanup, use the 12-containers-and-orchestration skills: linux-container-engine (install/configure Docker & Podman), linux-container-deployment (run containers, compose, systemd/Quadlet), and linux-image-hygiene (prune images/volumes). This skill keeps KVM/libvirt VMs and LXD system containers only.
