virt-manager

virt-manager is a desktop virtual machine monitor primarily developed by Red Hat.

Virt-manager allows users to:

• create, edit, start and stop VMs
• view and control each VM's console
• see performance and utilization statistics for each VM
• view all running VMs and hosts, and their live performance or resource utilization statistics.
• use KVM, Xen or QEMU virtual machines, running either locally or remotely.
• use LXC containers

Support for FreeBSD's bhyve hypervisor has been included since 2014, though it remains disabled by default.
