Feature Name Securing Agent Comms (CA Framework)

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.

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 ?
