Virtual Machine Manager and vms

Having got my Ubuntu 22.04 vm set up and working using virtman, I’ve been learning a bit more about setup and connectivity. After installing openssh server on the guest, I was able to find out its local ip and connect to it like this:
virsh net-dhcp-leases default
Expiry Time MAC address Protocol IP address Hostname Client ID or DUID

2022-04-28 13:40:57 52:54:00:xx:xx:xx ipv4 192.168.xxx.xxx/24 name-of-guest 01:52:54:00:48:8c:3d
It’s then possible to log in using either:
ssh username@ip
or
ssh username@name-of-guest.local
The experience so far has been that the vm is faster and way more responsive than a VirtualBox vm, and it will be my go-to method of running VMs for the forseeable future, I think.
