@stgraber the viosock drivers finally landed in the windows virtio repo?
@gabriel I wish... No, the current plan is to run the agent on HTTPS for systems where we don't have a proper vsock driver.
@stgraber One less convenient but potentially functional way to enable host to guest communication on Windows in the absence of networking, would be to use COM ports (essentially serial console)...but that has low baud rate. It would work for commands but not so much for file operations.
I have not looked at the viosock stuff in ages. It was getting close last time I looked. Hopefully it will some day be completed.
@gabriel Yeah, our agent expects to be able to maintain at least 3 connections per exec session, combined with metrics and other API calls, it's not unusual for an agent to be handling over a dozen connections at once. Multiplexing that over a serial port wouldn't be much fun.
