Ian Wienand a5bd03ec6b journal-to-console: element to send systemd journal to console 
This element configures systemd to send its journal to the console,
which can then be retreived by server commands.  In the case of
nodepool, if the image failed to boot the console will be dumped into
the logs when nodepool decides the node is not responding.  Having
this can be very helpful diagnosing early boot errors.

journal-to-console

Configure systemd's journal to send all logs to console. Useful for debugging issues before you can log into a host, such as network or authentication issues.

The console can be retrieved from an OpenStack cloud with a command such as openstack console log show <server>.
