Revision 45 (Florian Koch, 12/05/2011 03:39 PM) → Revision 46/63 (Romain Vrignaud, 12/05/2011 03:51 PM)

h1. Roadmap meeting 

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

 h2. Dec 05 2011 : 7pm UTC on #theforeman (Freenode) 

 h3. 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, ...) 
 * ESX support 
 * 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  
 * Support NonSql Databases (redis,mongo...) 
 * Add scheduling #1249 
 * Discuss about new UI in Foreman (from 0.3 -> 0.4) - Fixed size columns ... 


 h3. Organizational topics 

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

 h2. Dec 05 2011 : Report : 

 h3. Mcollective  

 # functionality exposed in UI : 

 * simple action : puppet kicks, services management 
 * handled by proxy 
 * optional 

 h3. Pulp / Katello 

 * Relation with Foreman should be more precise 
 * Katello doesn't support non RPM disto 
 * Maybe we could try a simple repo management 
 * Functionnality wished : 
 ** Assigning repo to host 
 ** Pull updated 
 * Mainly UI work 

 h3. BMC support 

 * Functionnality wished : 
 ** Power on/off 
 ** Boot order 
 * Should be handled by proxy using IPMI (freeIPMI ?) 
 * Look at otherproject : https://github.com/dellcloudedge/barclamp-ipmi 

 h3. Remove virt dependency 

 * Can not talk to 'a cloud' 
 * Dividing system into : 
 ** Physical 
 ** Virtual 
 * Major code refactoring 
 * Remove dependency on a particular gem and have 3d party integration (libvirt, virt, fog, ec2, ovirt) 

 H3. Password encrytion 

 * Use gpg encryption ? (maybe with hiera support) 
 * Store gpg encrypted sensitive information and decrypt it on the fly when used
