No; Fedora CoreOS focuses on containers, not VMs. What you want is OpenStack, it seems.

OpenStack? For a standalone bare metal server?

No. oVirt makes much more sense for that case: https://ovirt.org/

OpenStack is a lot more complexity for a single box...

To be completely honest, for a single server, why not just use libvirt's commandline utilities?

That's fair, if it only is "a" server, then one has to weigh pros and cons. I said OpenStack because of the speed of spawning VMs ready to go, cattle style. Traditional VM platforms haven't really been able to do that.
