Hi We have both Virtualbox and KVM packaged on OI. Virtualbox as the GUI and Desktop Solution with Management GUI and KVM as headless Server VM Manager. We also have a zone brand kvm which manages starting KVM inside a dedicated Zone for better protection and resource control. It also manages to invoke Qemu/KVM in a way to expose VNC via socket.
You can see the dokumentation from our friends over in the OmiOSCE Community which originally wrote the zone brand.
