Feature/Component | JIRA bug | Participant | Planned Release | Short description |
Upgrades
| Kishan | |||
Packaging | ||||
Use embedded jetty | ||||
YAML based configs | ||||
Logging/Metrics | ||||
Use MDC
| ||||
Improve logging using UUIDs and internal metrics | ||||
Better error handling | ||||
Processing Logs | ||||
Storage | ||||
Improve Object Storage | ||||
Swift support | ||||
Remove NFS dependency | ||||
Shared data disk | ShapeBlue | Very large percentage of enterprises use clustering for applications such as MS SQL. CloudStack cannot currently present a disk to multiple VMs | ||
Snapshots on SAN | ||||
Ability to migrate secondary storage | ||||
Network | ||||
IPv6 (Quagga etc) | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8529 | Schuberg Philis | IPv6 support for VPC Router and VM instances in the VPC networks. This is created as a sub-task of CLOUDSTACK-452. Design document for this task is in wiki at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/IPv6+in+VPC+Router | |
DST in egress | ShapeBlue | |||
Improved GSLB | ||||
Network ACLS | ||||
Globo DNS API | ||||
VR: dnsmasq to better dns | ||||
Richer SDN, improve nicira | (Schuberg Philis) | |||
Better LB | ||||
Improve VR, VR agent, API for VR | ||||
Extend VPC in physical net. | ShapeBlue | |||
Hybrid setups across domains | ||||
Replace VR with h/w (srx, asa etc) | ShapeBlue | |||
Reserved CIDR | ShapeBlue | |||
Netscaler integration | Rajesh Battala | |||
Openswan with strongswan | Jayapal | |||
L2 on L3 (sbp) | ||||
VPC: inter vpc, private gateways | ||||
Routing mode for VPC | ShapeBlue | Enterprises often require non-NAT networks. | ||
OSPF, routed networks | ShapeBlue | Enterprises often require non-NAT/OSPF networks. | ||
GSLB Multi-zone | ||||
Configurable MAC address | IDC Frontier | Enable to specify MAC address range to avoid MAC address collision when VMs are connected across zones and regions. | ||
UI, API | ||||
New Admin UI | ||||
Billing Quota | Abhinandan Prateek, Rohit Yadav | |||
RBAC or add new roles | ShapeBlue | Static command.properties moved to database and made user definable (RBAC Lite) | ||
2Factor Authentication | ||||
Comments/annotations to CloudStack elements (i.e firewall rules, hypervisors, nics ) | ShapeBlue | |||
Storage process progress feedback | ShapeBlue | Users/admins cannot see progress of storage processes such as snapshot taking, template install or template zone copy can take hours/days. Storing ‘time taken’ for snapshots would also give admins visibility into their storage performance to identify issues. | ||
Improve SAML plugin | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8457 | Rohit Yadav (bhaisaab) | 4.6.0, 4.5.2 | cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/SAML+2.0+Plugin |
Refactor API + core | ||||
SSH key management in UI | ||||
QA, Drivers and automation | ||||
Better tests | ShapeBlue | |||
Test environment (langur) | ShapeBlue | |||
QA/CI environment | pdion891 Bharat | 4.6.0 |
| |
Plugin driver certification | ShapeBlue | |||
Crowdsource QA results | ShapeBlue | |||
Performance | ||||
Misc | ||||
Disaster Recovery, Import infra | ||||
VNC console, serial port etc | ||||
Docker/Containers | pdion891 | 4.6.0 | Dockerfiles | |
Terraform support | ||||
iSCSI and HA support in Hyper-V | Anshul Gangwar | 4.6.0 | Design document is available at iSCSI and HA support in Hyper-V | |
Architecture | ||||
Refactor management Core | ||||
Apparmour/Selinux support (KVM) | ||||
Multi-mangement server aware agents | ShapeBlue | Management server(s) should publish a list of active management servers in failover order. The list should be dynamically updated according to load/availability/location of indirect agent. Agents use this list. May require also fixing management server clustering. | ||
Persistance layer: away from DAO | ||||
