Feature Name Securing Agent Comms (CA Framework)
- Summary The aim of this feature is to provide pluggable CA (certificate authority) management in CloudStack that can fetch/provision certificates to (new) host(s) and systemvms. As a default CA plugin, a root CA plugin will be implement where CloudStack becomes a self-signed Root Certificate Authority. Developers will have option to implement further integration with their TLS/SSL cert providers such as letsencrypt and other vendors.

Feature Name Enable Dedication of Public IP range to CPVM/SSVM
- Summary By dedicating a small public IP range to only CPVM and SSVM, firewall rules can be used to control inbound access to this smaller range without affecting public traffic destined for the VRs.
Such security is a general best practice, but also highly desireable in PCI DSS compliant environments - FS_Jira TBC

- Lead Dev TBC
- Release Target Q1 2018
Feature Name Ability to request a range of public IPs (v4 and v6)

- Release Target Q4 2017
Feature Name CloudStack Metrics Exporter for Prometheus
Feature Name Embedded Jetty
- Summary CloudStack installation has huge dependency on distro provided tomcat, by moving to embedded jetty (like we do use jetty for development) we can sync how developers develop/test mgmt servers and users use it. In addition, it will be easier to publish pkgs without depending on distro provided dependencies.

Subject PR Process
- Short summary Current PR process takes quite a long for a PR to get merged. Couple of examples (1) there are comments on the PR that were addressed by the author but no one may respond (2) there are comments from reviewers and the author does not respond. The whole process can take potentially a longtime if either the author or the reviewers take time to respond. Can we think about implementing some kind of validating on the Prs.. Bottomline is how can we improve ?
