Roadmap for 2.x

(First public beta release is scheduled for Q3/2011, probably not feature complete)

  • Complete new GUI
    • based on Ext JS 4 JavaScript framework
    • fast search-driven interface, capable of handling hundreds and probably thousands of VM´s
    • secure VNC console, supporting external VNC viewer with SSL support
    • role based permission management for all objects (VM´s, storages, nodes, etc.)
    • Support for multiple authenication sources (e.g. local, MS ADS, LDAP, ...)
  • Based on Debian 6.0 Squeeze
    • longterm 2.6.32 Kernel with KVM and OpenVZ as default
    • second kernel branch with 2.6.x, KVM only (tbd)
  • New cluster communication based on corosync, including:
    • Proxmox Cluster file system (pmcfs): Database-driven file system for storing configuration files, replicated in realtime on all nodes using corosync
    • creates multi-master clusters (no single master anymore!)
    • cluster-wide logging
    • basis for HA setup´s with KVM guests
  • RESTful web API
    • Ressource Oriented Architecture (ROA)
    • declarative API definition using JSON Schema
    • enable easy integration for third party management tools
  • Planned technology previews (CLI only)
    • spice protocol (remote display system for virtualized desktops)
    • sheepdog (distributed storage system)
  • Commitment to Free Software (FOSS): public code repository and bug tracker for the 2.x code base
  • Topics for future releases
    • Better resource monitoring
    • IO limits for VM´s
