Roadmap
The goal of this document is to give you a hint of what's next. However since all topics are very complex, there's no specific order or target date.
In tech preview
This means some parts of the following features are already available, but only partially.
- XO Lite: a small/light version of Xen Orchestra bundled inside your XCP-ng host.
- Public REST API
In progress
Items in this list are already undergoing development, but are not yet available to test.
- XO 6: a large revamp of Xen Orchestra: improved speed, security, lazy loading, XO tasks, a brand new UI and much more!
- Auto backup validation: a special "auto restore" task to check if VM backups are bootable
- OVA export
- Individual VDI restore
In design/PoC phase
This is the initial concept phase, where we discuss the general approach and how to make the feature real.
- Block based backup (NBD): using NBD as the backend to export VMs. Faster and allows fun features, like compression and dedup.
- XO Resource scheduler: improvement of the existing XO load balancer
- Fetch Netbox to display available IPs
- Packer plugin for XO API
Backlog
A short non-ordered list of interesting features or ideas to develop eventually.
- Improve XO proxies for complete XAPI reverse role
- Container as first class citizen: allow container management/creation/cycle from XO
- k8s integration: improving integration with Kubernetes inside Xen Orchestra
- Upload ISOs to NFS ISO SR via XO (XAPI modification likely required)
- Health check smart service from xen-orchestra.com
- Geo/Async backup
- Native backup encryption
