if it's worth implementing for the nitro instances we should look into it

A major caveat of the EC2 serial console is that it requires you to have a continuous connection with an instance in order to receive its serial output, in other words you can only retrieve the serial output produced during the time you are actually connected to the serial console, any output produced by the instance before (or after) that is lost.

oh, that is a big deal, not sure if it's even worth implementing then
