Today we are announcing the general availability of serial console and we\u2019ve added numerous features and enhanced performance to make serial console an even better tool for systems administrators, IT administrators, DevOps engineers, VM administrators, and systems engineers.<\/p>\n<p>For those new to serial console, you\u2019ll likely recognize this scenario: You\u2019ve made a change to your VM that results in you being unable to connect to your VM through SSH or RDP. In the past, this would have left you pretty helpless. However, serial console enables you to interact with your VM directly through the VM\u2019s serial port \u2013 in other words, it is independent of the current network state, or as I like to say, it\u2019s \u201clike plugging a keyboard into your VM.\u201d This means that you can debug an otherwise unreachable VM to fix issues like a broken fstab or a misconfigured network interface, without needing to resort to deleting and recreating your VM.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/df5f2609-1f95-427a-b9ed-c7edfaa08535.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"loading\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/df5f2609-1f95-427a-b9ed-c7edfaa08535.gif\" title=\"loading\" width=\"1690\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The latest features for serial console include a subscription-level enable\/disable feature, support for magic SysRq keys, support for non-maskable interrupts, accessibility improvements, and performance and stability improvements. Serial console can now be turned off for all VMs in a subscription. The details on this feature are in our documentation for <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolelinux#disable-serial-console\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linux<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolewindows#disable-serial-console\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows<\/a> VMs.<\/p>\n<p>The system request key, also known as the magic SysRq key, allows you to enter key combinations that will be understood by the Linux kernel regardless of its state. Like a SysRq, a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) can forcibly crash your VM, which is useful if your VM is completely frozen. In other words, we\u2019re giving you an additional tool in your toolkit for even more of those nasty debugging situations. More details are available in our documentation for <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolesysrqhelp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linux<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolewindows#use-serial-console-for-nmi-calls-in-windows-vms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows<\/a> VMs.<\/p>\n<p>We have also focused on making the serial console more accessible for anyone with visual, hearing or physical impairments. Without the need to use a mouse, you can now tab through serial console to show exactly where you are on screen. Serial console also includes native screen reader support, meaning that your screen reader will be able to tell you exactly what is going on within your serial console.<\/p>\n<p>You can see serial console in action in this <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsoleazurefriday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">episode of Azure Fridays<\/a> and learn more by visiting our serial console documentation for <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolelinux\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linux<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/serialconsolewindows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows<\/a> VMs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, we released the public preview of Azure Serial Console for Virtual Machines (VMs).
