kvm itself is a VERY small thing by design. in it's it does very little, no gui etc. There are plenty of things like libvirt whcih are used to wrap and automate the system (and libvirt supports other hypervisors too), so when you're using kvm on CentOS you're, by default, actually configuring and controlling libvirt#'s virt-manager tool, not KVM directly. So any tool that speaks libvirt is able to manage kvm vm's implicitly...

Look into oVirt or RHEV-M
