Development Roadmap

Disclaimer: Our development roadmap is subject to change, do not base your purchase on this.

Currently

Improved Cluster Monitoring (3-4 weeks by mid-September)

  • We will create a separate project for a Prometheus-based exporter.
  • The exporter will be build modularly to make it easy to expand it in the future.
  • The initial module created for the exporter will gather metrics about object storage usage/ quotas. This is to improve visibility into application’s object storage usage.
  • For every metrics module, we will look into updating existing and/ or creating new Grafana dashboards for visualization of these metrics.

Easier Ceph Dashboard SSO Setup (1-2 weeks by mid-September, concurrently)

  • Phase 1: Providing re-built Ceph images that include the necessary SSO libraries (OAuth2, OpenID, etc.)
  • Phase 2: Depending on our customer’s feedback, we are going to look into a Kubernetes native way to configure SSO on the Ceph MGR dashboard (e.g., expansion of existing Custom Resource Objects).

Upcoming

First Long-Term Supported Stable Version of the Koor Storage Distribution (4-6 weeks, by mid-November)

  • We still need to iron out the details for a long-term supported version at this moment (e.g., time span, how to handle code improvements).
  • We are going to discuss with the Rook community, on how we can approach this together and work out a plan from there.

Backup/ Restore Flows/ Processes

  • Phase 1: Integration with existing backup & restore projects/products (3-4 weeks, end of year, continuously being worked on)
  • Phase 2: Our own simple but effective solution to take backups and restore them (initial approach 3-4 weeks, more flexible/dynamic backups in other environments over longer time)

Optimized Cluster Cloud Topology Handling (5-6 weeks, at latest mid January)

  • Improvements to the operator logic in handling cluster node changes (e.g. removal/ addition of new storage nodes).
  • This will make it easier to handle new nodes, especially in Cloud environments with regions, availability zones/ sections, to ensure an improved storage availability.

Completed

Basic Setup: Naming and building on the Rook codebase (2-3 weeks by mid-August)

  • This is about getting all CI workflows running (e.g., testing, building and release flows).
  • Initial code optimization are included with this.
