: The standard KVM disk image format (QEMU Copy-On-Write). 🚀 Deployment Guide for KVM

Here is a general workflow for deploying this specific image on a KVM-compatible hypervisor. While the exact steps may vary slightly between hypervisors (like Proxmox, OpenStack, or plain KVM), the core principles remain consistent.

The provided string appears to detail specifications or identifiers for a virtual machine image, particularly one that seems to be related to Fortinet's FortiGate products running on a KVM hypervisor.
