nova 根据conf动态加载虚拟化驱动

在nova/virt/driver.py 中的ComputeDriver 类中定义了load_compute_driver来加载用于虚拟化的driver。
def load_compute_driver(virtapi, compute_driver=None):
    """Load a compute driver module.

    Load the compute driver module specified by the compute_driver
    configuration option or, if supplied, the driver name supplied as an
    argument.

    Compute drivers constructors take a VirtAPI object as their first object
    and this must be supplied.

    :param virtapi: a VirtAPI instance
    :param compute_driver: a compute driver name to override the config opt
    :returns: a ComputeDriver instance
    """
    if not compute_driver:
        compute_driver = CONF.compute_driver

    if not compute_driver:
        LOG.error(_LE("Compute driver option required, but not specified"))
        sys.exit(1)

    LOG.info(_LI("Loading compute driver '%s'"), compute_driver)
    try:
        driver = importutils.import_object(
            'nova.virt.%s' % compute_driver,
            virtapi)
        return utils.check_isinstance(driver, ComputeDriver)
    except ImportError:
        LOG.exception(_LE("Unable to load the virtualization driver"))
        sys.exit(1)
可以compute_driver 是在CONF.compute_driver得到的,本例中compute_driver=libvirt.LibvirtDriver
因此最终会通过import_object 导入nova.virt.libvirt.LibvirtDriver
