Background

• KubeVirt VM configuration did not allow explicit control over the video device type.
• For AMD64, the default video device was either VGA or Bochs based on the BIOS/EFI configuration.
• For ARM and s390x architectures, the default video device was virtio, but this was not configurable by the user.

Goal

• A new video configuration field to be added to the VirtualMachine API, allowing VM owners to explicitly choose the video device type (e.g., virtio, bochs, vga).

• This configuration allows users to override the default video device with their preferred option, as long as the video model is supported on the provided arch.

• VideoConfig feature-gate to be introduced to allow enabling this functionality, ensuring that users can opt into the feature while maintaining backward compatibility for existing users.

User Stories

• As a VM owner, I want to explicitly choose the video device type (e.g., virtio, bochs, vga), so that it allows users to override the value to preferred option, as long as it's supported by the architecture.
