OpenStack Compute (nova)

Libvirt SPICE direct consoles

Registered by Michael Still

This specification proposes modifications to Nova's libvirt driver to support "direct" SPICE VDI consoles. These consoles are "direct" in that they are not intended to use a HTML5 transcoding proxy to access, and instead the user would use a native SPICE client like `remote-viewer`.
