In this talk, we will present the current state of remote VM access in KubeVirt [0] and the challenges associated with it. We will discuss in-guest approaches such as running an RDP server on Windows or Linux, as well as host-side mechanisms like QEMU’s built-in VNC server exposed through KubeVirt’s virt-api. Finally, we will introduce a new proposal that leverages QEMU’s display-over-D-Bus interface [1], a direction that could enable additional vendors to build their own remote-display integrations.
