Roadmap meeting¶

Please add your own wishlist here, we would review these topics during the meeting, Order has no meaning.

Dec 05 2011 : 7pm UTC on #theforeman (Freenode)¶

Important Issues to review¶

• Mcollective integration
• Pulp Admin integration
• Parameterized classes support (#832)
• Controlling the BMC through IPMI
  • control boot order
  • power controls
• Remove dependency of virt in foreman
  • make a more generic layer that allows for any 3rd party virtualization tools (ovirt, virt, libvirt, aws, fog, ...)
• Ruby version support
• create external service for 3rd party tools
  • wrapper service that acts as the middle man to talk to foreman and 3rd party tools
  • Can handle compatibility better
  • Better security
    • Security related issues, that so far have been handled outside Foreman, like restricting who can POST Reports and Facts. Ideally Foreman should handle them. #1169
• Password Encryption
• DB data versioning (Templates, parameters, etc - possibility to revert to a previous state)
• Cloud provisioning and unattended access/security related (#969)
• Audits to Hostgroups/Classes/Parameters/Provisioning should have be displayed on the Dashboard, perhaps with some Visualization?
• host roles that were originally possible with puppet before adding the ENC. Roles can be assigned to host or hostgroups with a (many-to-many) relationship.
• Full working unattended installations via proxy
• Add scheduling #1249

Organizational topics¶

• Git and Release maintenance
• Packaging
• Puppet-Foreman deployment recipes - Isolate namespace (as in : http://bit.ly/sFabPs) ? Or not ?
• Bug/Feature reviews
