What is the relation between Virtual Machine Manager and KVM/QEMU?
What is the relation between Virtual Machine Manager and
KVM/QEMU? The Wikipedia links says
In computing, the Red Hat Virtual Machine Manager, also known as virt-manager, is a desktop virtual machine manager
and links "virtual machine manager" to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor. So if Virtual Machine
Manager is a hypervisor, then what is KVM/QEMU?
- Why is VirtualBox not separated into two things in parallel to
Virtual Machine Manager and KVM/QEMU? In VirtualBox, which part is
similar to Virtual Machine Manager, and which part similar to
KVM/QEMU? Or is VirtualBox itself more similar to Virtual Machine Manager or to KVM/QEMU?
Thanks.

I’m not sure why the Wikipedia article links that particular phrase to the hypervisor article; the description of Virtual Machine Manager on its own web site is more accurate:
The virt-manager application is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt.
VMM isn’t a hypervisor itself, it’s a GUI used to manage virtual machines (and LXC containers).
VirtualBox is split into multiple components. The GUI you’re presumably used to is one component; VMs can be run separately and managed using other tools, e.g. VBoxManage. The GUI is similar to Virtual Machine Manager, and the VM engine is similar to KVM/QEMU.
Thanks. Do VMM and KVM/QEMU run as separate processes? How do VMM and KVM/QEMU communicate? By Unix domain sockets?
