If you are a security researcher:
It sounds like you’re referencing a specific build string or artifact name, something like:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is an open-source virtualization module in the Linux kernel that allows Linux to operate as a hypervisor. It turns the Linux kernel into a hypervisor, enabling it to run multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical host.
2. Import QCOW2
sudo virt-install --name fortigate \
--ram 4096 --vcpus 2 \
--disk path=/path/to/FGT_VM64_KVM-v7.2.1.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
--import --os-variant generic \
--network bridge=br0 --network bridge=br0 \
--graphics vnc
That appears to be a FortiGate VM (KVM) QCOW2 image — likely version 7.2.1, build 1254 — for a KVM hypervisor. The “exclusive” and “useful story” parts suggest you want a narrative or case study where such an image plays a key role.
