# Ozone: QEMU VM Manager for Stratosphere

> Ozone is Stratosphere's Go library for managing QEMU virtual machines — start/stop lifecycle, JSON config parsing, and typed resource accessors.

Ozone is the QEMU management layer powering Stratosphere's virtualization engine. It provides Go packages for starting and stopping `qemu-system-x86_64` instances, parsing and writing per-VM JSON configuration files, and reading or mutating individual VM resource properties (CPU, memory, network, disk) with a strongly-typed API.
