Libvirt with Firecracker

Hello Libvirt team,

For the last couple of months, as an AWS intern I have been reading and learning how to use libvirt. I have been working on integrating Firecracker<https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker>, an open source virtual machine monitor into libvirt as a hypervisor driver, believing its design would be a great addition to the fleet of already existing drivers.

One question I have is regarding testing, I couldn’t properly use the libvirt-test-API repository, and neither the libvirt-TCK one. I am now looking at the testing done In the libvirt repository itself and wanted to ask if integration-like tests would be achievable here, and if it is in line with the project’s direction. We would like to have tests to be as “end to end” as they can.

Another mention is this contribution is more of a proof of concept than a production ready patch/series of patches as it doesn’t have (yet) tests in any way. It can be a starting point for future contributions (that can also be from the open source community).

I wanted to check with you if this integration collides with any of your ongoing work and what would be some of your initial thoughts.

Kind regards,
Felix Puscasu
