Go Package for Managing Virtualization Storage Volume

Storage pools are divided into storage volumes. Storage volumes are abstractions of physical partitions, LVM logical volumes, file-based disk images, and other storage types handled by libvirt. Storage volumes are presented to guest virtual machines as local storage devices regardless of the underlying hardware.

ViRest provides storage management on the physical host through storage pools and volumes. This Go package provides the REST API interface by utilizing Libvirt.
