I see that was 'floated' earlier as well.  Is there a set of 
blockers, or milestone, to allow knowing a timeframe on a 
roadmap?  It would seem that the next major release of RHEL's 
documentation and hoped for feature set, so we probably won't 
see it in the enterprise product until a later entrant in that 
product line


We provide a 'wrapper' layer to permit access to selected 
'virsh' commands to (untrusted as to what they might attempt, 
intentionally or inadvertently) customers.  I know Luke 
Crawford at prgmr.com also has published sample code for a TUI 
console with selected commands in his 'no-starch' book

If you don't have the book, it is worth picking up for ideas, 
although as it is in a fast changing field, the specifics 
change

The 'virsh' approach works for varying degrees of 'works', but 
requires either providing a static subset of commands, or a 
'sanitizing layer' of what we are willing to pass along
