What is Ravada?
Ravada is an open-source Remote Virtual Desktops Manager that provides a web-based user interface for managing and accessing virtual machines using QEMU/KVM virtualization technology.

The project solves the need for a streamlined, accessible tool to administer virtual desktops without requiring dedicated client software.
System administrators with a background in GNU/Linux who want to deploy and manage a VDI project. It is suited for those needing a centralized web interface to handle virtual machines for multiple users.
Developers choose Ravada for its user-friendly web interface that eliminates the need for a dedicated desktop client, its support for fast VM cloning and SPICE remote access, and its modular backend designed for future hypervisor extensibility. It offers a comprehensive, open-source alternative for VDI management with features like LDAP integration and USB redirection.
