As a CloudStack user, here are the ares that I feel need attention:
- improved IAM and implementation of a full RBAC security model. This is
hurting us right now.
- improved VM import functionality (ie bulk import of VM's and import of
running VM's from existing vSphere clusters)
- improved backup functionality and integration with 3rd party tools
- HA for VPC routers
Cheers,
