SPICE is an open source alternative to VNC. It promises much better performance and capabilities than VNC, and could enable desktops-as-a-service with OpenStack. I have a quick POC of SPICE integration here, which attracted a lot of interest: https://review.openstack.org/#change,5319 I hope to evaluate SPICE further (to see if it lives up to the hype), discuss my findings, and work with the community to add support for SPICE to OpenStack. A potential plan of action is: 1) Push (insecure) code that allows administrators to turn on SPICE and evaluate it. 2) Develop a gateway like the novnc gateway that allows secure client access if #1 has good results. 3) Native client port of SPICE C code?
