# QEMU Builder

Type: `qemu`

The Qemu builder is able to create [KVM](http://www.linux-kvm.org)
and [Xen](http://www.xenproject.org) virtual machine images. Support
for Xen is experimanetal at this time.

The builder builds a virtual machine by creating a new virtual machine
from scratch, booting it, installing an OS, rebooting the machine with the
boot media as the virtual hard drive, provisioning software within
the OS, then shutting it down. The result of the Qemu builder is a directory
containing the image file necessary to run the virtual machine on KVM or Xen.
