      Goal

      We want to have greater visibilty to where CNV is installed.

      `virt-host-validate` command is used to validate that the host machine is configured correctly to support virtualization. When you run virt-host-validate, it performs a series of checks to ensure that the virtualization environment is properly set up and capable of running virtual machines (VMs) efficiently and securely.

      `systemd-detect-virt` command is is used to detect if the system is running in a virtualized environment and, if so, which virtualization technology is being used. 

      When you run systemd-detect-virt, it performs checks to determine:

      Virtualization Technology: Whether the system is running inside a virtual machine (VM) or container, and it identifies the specific virtualization technology (e.g., QEMU/KVM, Xen, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle VirtualBox, LXC, Docker, etc.).

      Type of Virtualization: It differentiates between full virtualization technologies (where an entire machine is simulated) and containerization technologies (which share the host's kernel but provide isolated user spaces).

      User Stories

      • As a developer I would like to get additional information in the CNV must-gather collected from virt-host-validate and systemd-detect-virt to be able to help us to know where CNV is installed, so that we can priorities and plan our work and testing.
