…the AF_VSOCK "CID" (which is like an IP address, i.e. an identifier for the local VM) you can specify a friendly machine name, if the VM in question is registered with systemd-machined. systemd-vmspawn sets things up that way out of the box, of course. That means, with current off-the-shelf systemd inside a VM and on the host you can now just do "ssh machine/foobar" to connect to a local VM called "foobar", via AF_VSOCK, i.e. independently of any fragile network.
