vm_launcher

Overview

vm_launcher is a frontend to kvmtool and crosvm that is meant to simplify the interface for launching a VM. This includes taking care of housekeeping tasks that don't have an appropriate home elsewhere, such as managing available IPv4 subnets and MAC addresses.

vm_launcher can also set up NFS server, and the VM will mount the NFS automatically. NFS server is started via vm_launcher because for each VM we need to modify NFS server configurations and restart it.
