Sorry, something went wrong.
The Libvirt VM manager was deprecated in DOC-346 and has now been fully removed from LocalStack (localstack-pro#8233). Remove the "Libvirt VM Manager" section from ec2.mdx, drop the Libvirt-only config options from configuration-options.md, and update the autoscaling limitations note and VM Managers overview accordingly.

Summary
The EC2 Libvirt VM manager was deprecated in DOC-346 and has now been fully retired in the LocalStack codebase (localstack-pro#7870 deprecated it, localstack-pro#8233 removed all Libvirt VM manager code and dependencies). This PR reflects that retirement in the docs.
Audit Trail
Sources accessed:
Coverage/data files checked: none — VM managers are not part of the API coverage JSON; this is EC2-emulation-mode documentation, not per-operation coverage.
Confidence & gaps: High confidence the feature is fully removed from code (confirmed via the merged retirement PR's file diff). The next public release (v2026.08) had not yet shipped as of this PR (blog post not yet published), so docs are being updated ahead of/alongside that release per the ticket's "retire in the following release" plan.
