  That's only an output image though. The ability to interact with the console is always something I've missed from on-premises hypervisors.

    FWIW, GCE have console. Another thing I miss in AWS is the ability to change instance user-data while running (GCE also allows this, including the ability to long-poll for changes)

      Yeah, I've used GCE's console many times with SysRq to debug frozen instances. Surprised that AWS doesn't have one.

    Rackspace (at least, when I worked for a company that used them) has access to the console; their website has a link to a VNC page (running a Java applet) that connects to the console of the VM; you can even type into it, unlike AWS. It was extremely handy, and I miss having it. Debugging issues in AWS is a bit trickier.
