+ The following SPICE-related options are added to the ``spice``
+ configuration group of a Nova configuration:
+
+ - ``image_compression``
+ - ``jpeg_compression``
+ - ``zlib_compression``
+ - ``playback_compression``
+ - ``streaming_mode``
+
+ These configuration options can be used to enable and set the
+ SPICE compression settings for libvirt (QEMU/KVM) provisioned
+ instances. Each configuration option is optional and can be set
+ explictly to configure the associated SPICE compression setting
+ for libvirt. If all configuration options are not set, then none
+ of the SPICE compression settings will be configured for libvirt,
+ which corresponds to the behavior before this change. In this case,
+ the built-in defaults from the libvirt backend (e.g. QEMU) are used.
+
+ Note that those options are only taken into account if SPICE support
+ is enabled (and the VNC support is disabled).
