--- deprecations: - | Support for the ``xen``, ``uml``, ``lxc`` and ``parallels`` libvirt backends, configured via the ``[libvirt] virt_type`` config option, has been deprecated. None of these drivers have upstream testing and the ``xen`` and ``uml`` backends specifically have never been considered production ready. With this change, only the ``kvm`` and ``qemu`` backends are considered supported when using the libvirt virt driver.
