About

• This project serves as a SystemD-based "state machine" for libvirtd-based virtual machine operation.
• For this project, there is included from-start-to-finish wiki page that serves both as a manual and as a runbook.

Validation & Reproducibility

• Status: Verified 1:1 Reconstruction
• Methodology: Green-field Deployment (Clean Room Installation)

This framework has been successfully validated through a rigorous "Green-field" replication process. A secondary, independent virtual environment was constructed from scratch using only the provided documentation, IaC scripts, and the iPXE installer.

Key Results of Replication:

• Performance Parity: The newly deployed instance achieved identical performance metrics (120-180 FPS) as the original optimized rig.
• Deterministic Behavior: All system transitions, PCI bus mappings, and driver handovers behaved exactly as documented.
• Independence: The success of the deployment confirms that the project's logic is independent of host-specific artifacts and relies solely on the engineering principles defined in the repository.

"If a setup cannot be reproduced from zero, it is not a platform - it is an accident. BarterVMOp is a platform."
