Feature/Component | JIRA bug | Participant | Planned Release | Short description | Last Updated | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upgrades | ||||||
| Kishan Kavala Rohit Yadav John Burwell (ShapeBlue) | WIP FS: CloudStack Chimp | Is any of this complete? It seems that this covers several projects. | |||
Improved System VM template management | Paul Angus | Process for 'seeding' and updatingsystemVMtemplates needs revamping. Installation of system VM templates could/should be handled by API. As should the installing of 'updated templates'. Initial seeding of templates can be handled by the create zone wizard - thereby allowing for 'default' templates or custom URLs to be used. | ||||
| Packaging | ||||||
| Use embedded jetty | Rohit Yadav | 4.11 | ||||
Better Log handling | The CloudStack logs are often difficult to read due to the sheer volume of information which is output. This can be helped by revisiting classifications of log output such logging can be set to 'info' (rather than debug) - without losing important information. | |||||
| Storage | ||||||
| Shared data disk | CLOUDSTACK-8561 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Paul Angus | 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 | Mike Tutkowski and Syed Ahmed | |||||
| Ability to migrate secondary storage | Daan, Wei Zhou (Leaseweb) | |||||
| Snapshot Improvements | CLOUDSTACK-8663 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Anshul Gangwar | Split volume snapshot process Allow VM snapshot and volume snapshots to exist together | JIRA still open. "Planned Release" needs changing | ||
| Deploy user instance from VM snapshot | CLOUDSTACK-8676 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Sateesh Chodapuneedi | Support quick deployment of user instance from VM snapshot | JIRA still open. "Planned Release" needs changing | ||
| Network | ||||||
| IPv6 | CLOUDSTACK-8529 - Getting issue details... STATUS CLOUDSTACK-674 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Wido den Hollander | IPv6 support in Basic Networking: IPv6 in Basic Networking | |||
| DST in egress | ShapeBlue | |||||
| Netscaler integration | CLOUDSTACK-8672 - Getting issue details... STATUS CLOUDSTACK-8673 - Getting issue details... STATUS
| (Citrix) | 4.6 | Integrate NCC with CloudStack to leverage ADC functionality and Additional Enterprise Features provided by NetScaler FS link NCC Integration With Auto Provision VPX in CloudStack
| JIRAs still open. "Planned Release" needs changing | |
| Openswan withstrongswan | (Citrix) | |||||
| Next Generation Networking (NFV) | Paul Angus | Suite of features to allow users and operators to integrate virtual networking appliances from 3rdparyvendors into ACS networks
| ||||
| Visual Network designer | Paul Angus | Visualisation of networks and VM's -allowcreation and modification of networks in a visual way | ||||
| OSPF,routed networks | Rohit Yadav | Future | Enterprises often require non-NAT/OSPF networks.
| |||
| 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 | ||||||
| Billing Quota | CLOUDSTACK-8592 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Rohit Yadav | 4.6.0 | Quota Service - FS | JIRA fixed in 4.6. Can this bedeleted. | |
| RBAC or add new roles | CLOUDSTACK-8562 - Getting issue details... STATUS | ShapeBlue | 4.9 | Static command.properties moved todatabaseand made user definable (RBAC Lite) | JIRA fixed in 4.9. Can this be deleted? | |
Comments/annotations to CloudStack elements (i.e firewall rules, hypervisors,nics) | ShapeBlue | 4.11 | ||||
| Storage process progress feedback | CLOUDSTACK-8564 - Getting issue details... STATUS | ShapeBlue | Users/admins cannot seeprogressof 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. | |||
| Show (virtual) network typologies to users and Admin. | Paul Angus (ShapeBlue) | It is complicated for cloud admins to see which VM is connected to which network and therefore which VR. Better visibility will give much better understanding when troubleshooting. For users being able to clearly see which guest instances are connected to which network(s) will greatly improve the user experience | ||||
| VM operations | ||||||
| Separation of database object creation and physical object creation | Paul Angus | Ability to create and manipulate objects in DB without physical actions occurring. ie, add a disk (which already exists) change MAC address, add a VM - which already exists | ||||
| VM backup/restore | Paul Angus | 'Hooks' to enable Backup VM, In-place restore, alternative location, restore when original VM no longer exists. 'Restore'/import VM from alternate source | ||||
| Enterprise back/restore | Paul Angus | Integration of backup/recovery applications. i.e. Veeam and CommVault with VM Backup and restore feature | ||||
| VM ingestion | Paul Angus | 'Scan an existing environment' for VMs and 'import' them. Supporting UI with 'wizards' to simplify moving and mapping of existing VMs. | ||||
| Enabling of managed and unmanaged guest instances in xenserver & KVM | Paul Angus | Pre-req of VM ingestion | ||||
| Enable multidisc OVA importing and deployment | Paul Angus | 4.11 | Manage upload and storage multi-disk OVA templates (i.e. templates containing a root disk and one or more data disks), as well as, deployment and restoration of VMs from multi-disk OVA templates. | |||
| User Authenticators | ||||||
| Improve SAML plugin | CLOUDSTACK-8457 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Rohit Yadav | 4.6.0, 4.5.2 | SAML 2.0 Plugin | JIRA fixed in 4.6. Can this be deleted? | |
| QA, Drivers and automation | ||||||
| Better tests | Abhinandan Prateek | 5.0, 4.9+ | Simulating faults in real and hybrid environments. | |||
| Test environment (Trillian & Winston) | ShapeBlue | 4.9 | ||||
| QA/CI environment | pdion891 Bharat Kumar | 4.6.0 |
| |||
| Plugin driver certification | ShapeBlue | |||||
| Crowdsource QA results | ShapeBlue | |||||
| Misc | ||||||
| VNC console (noVNC) | Rohit Yadav (ShapeBlue), Wei Zhou (Leaseweb) | 4.11 | ||||
| Docker/Containers | pdion891 | 4.6.0 | Dockerfiles | |||
| iSCSI and HA support in Hyper-V | CLOUDSTACK-8444 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Anshul Gangwar | 4.6.0 | Design document is available at iSCSI and HA support in Hyper-V | JIRAs still open. "Planned Release" needs changing | |
| Support for non-US keyboards in Console Proxy | CLOUDSTACK-8665 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Anshul Gangwar | 4.6.0 | Make it easier for CloudStack service providers to add their own keyboards | JIRAs still open. "Planned Release" needs changing | |
| 3rd party library updates | all | A lot of libraries are outdated.effortneeds to go into upgrading those | Perhaps too general. Can a specific list be added or can this task be removed since it may be part of any release or bugfiz? | |||
| Architecture | ||||||
| Multi-mangementserver aware agents | CLOUDSTACK-8563 - Getting issue details... STATUS | Rohit Yadav, Nicolas Vasquez (ShapeBlue) | 4.11 | 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 ofindirectagent. Agents use this list. May require also fixing management server clustering. | ||
| Optimisation | ||||||
| Metrics view | Rohit Yadav | 4.9 | allow users to explore usage of underlying infrastructure (hosts) | |||
| Dynamic resource scheduling for KVM/Xen server | Paul Angus | Presently, CloudStack manages KVM and XenServer hosts and allows for the placement and migration of the VMs via deploy and migrate API calls. Build an engine that can move VMs within a cluster based on CPU and Memory metricsitsalready exposed, to pack hosts, balance load, or move VMs to 'make space' for large VMs. | ||||
| out of band management | Rohit Yadav | 4.9 | power management of underlying hosts for power optimisation | |||
| Customisable algorithms to enable automated power management | Paul Angus | |||||
