Look into meta-virtualization layer. There are reference images to build e.g. kvm-minimal-image which could be your final image. Then build another image for guest maybe core-image-minimal or something write a new image which inherits from kvm-minimal-image and adds core-image-minimal to install also adds a systemd unit file which is perhaps another package added to IMAGE_INSTALL of your-image > > > >
