Hi Daan, Prasanna, Simon, David and Andrei! Thanks for chiming in. Great way to kick off the discussion.
In my thinking, we might want to look at things in three buckets: 1. Things that could go into a maintenance release like a 4.2.x 2. Things that could go into a minor release like a 4.4 3. Things that would require major architecture changes and might wind up in 5.0 or something like it >From a Citrix perspective, we're definitely looking at things that fall into all three of these buckets. We've contributed a huge number of fixes to 4.2.1 and a number of features to 4.3. We're also now starting to plan our contributions to 4.4 as well. However, since I joined the community, I've seen very little discussion of what's really next. What are the major things we'd like to see done? I don¹t have a particular timeframe in mind for these things, I'm just looking to spark discussion -- especially as we go to Collab next week. Things that are interesting to me that fit in bucket three. Here are a couple: What level of scale should CloudStack be able to support? I imagine we'll bee CloudStack clouds managing millions of VMs in the next few years. What do we need to do to make that effective? I think people will want to manage "micro-clouds" -- very small, but flexible clouds for special purpose needs. What would CloudStack need to do to scale down very small and still be cost effective to run? Any thoughts about these, or any other ideas? -Steve On 11/12/13 9:58 PM, "Daan Hoogland" <daan.hoogl...@gmail.com> wrote: >I don't see any sugestions I don't like (including not breaking api) but, > >- I like to second Simnons 'HA for VPC routers' >extra.
