Hyper-V serial port console
Description
=========
Feature parity blueprint for instance serial port console access in the Hyper-V Nova compute driver.
This feature has been initially introduced by the serial-ports blueprint [1] and is currently implemented in the libvirt Nova compute driver only.
Implementation
============
Hyper-V provides a solid interface for accessing serial ports via named pipes, already employed in the Nova serial console log implementation.
The existing serial port access implementation can be extended to include support for the serial console Nova feature as defined by [1].
Alternatives
==========
The Nova RDP console feature provides graphical console access.
Testing
======
Testing will be performed by the Hyper-V CI.
