Hi, By default devstack uses the libvirt driver. This can be qemu or kvm depending on whether or not you are running on hardware or a virtual machine. You are able to run different drivers with different compute nodes - for example you can run a xen, hyperv or vmware driver (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NovaVMware/DeveloperGuide#vSphere_Environm ent_and_Inventory). You you want to run multiple compute nodes with different hypervisors you can make use of image meta data that will indicate to the scheduler which hypervisor it can choose. Thanks Gary
