We need to have a better way of talking with the VM to query about its capabilities and how it is running.

Ex: Do we have console? Are we running headless? Is the VM embedded? What is the path of the image? What are the parameters?

This requires:

  • A nice API in the image side.
  • A reification of some of the attributes
  • A nice API in the VM side
  • An extensible solution in both the VM and the image
  • Have it as a plugin that is outside the main vm DLL

Today there is a VM object in the image but its interface is not intuitive nor extensible.

We're thinking about using a static array of association that are queried from the image side.
This will be extendable until the max number of parameters is reach.
