Using the Virtual machines page in the web console, Cockpit administrators can create and manage KVM-based virtual machines on the host system.

Before creating and managing VMs on the managed host system, the cockpit-machines add-on application must be installed and the Oracle Linux virtualization packages must be installed and enabled. For instructions, see Install Cockpit Virtual Machines and Enable Virtualization.
