TBH I'm still waiting for console serial access via IAM. All my bare metal machines have that. And it's absolutely essential when you bork networking.
And as much it pains me to say it, Azure has that feature.
- cthalupa 7y agoI really really really try to not need serial console access to my machines. I try to only rarely need SSH access. But when you've got some sort of bug or issue that you're not getting any metrics out of, no logs recorded, no kernel crash dump, nothing sent over netconsole, nothing showing up on the instance console screenshot... Sometimes serial console is what you need. But, for the borked networking case, I'd recommend not modifying your networking on live instances. Make your changes on a test instance, figure out what works, and add it to your configuration management ;)
