Hi Max,
Why would one want to configure OpenStack to not provide a video console
using VNC / SPICE? I don't get it...
1) OpenStack juju charms by default have VNC/SPICE unconfigured
2) There was no such issue in Debian 8 cloud images. Not to mention Ubuntu and CentOS
3) Why do we want to have an
image that sometimes does not work - it took
me a while to figure out why Debian 9 is the only image that does not boot in our private cloud
4) Any serious reasons to be different on this matter to other major Linux distributions?
