Hi Peter, Some work is being done by my colleagues here which specifically improves systemvmtemplates management (registering/seeding and upgrades; same template for VR, systemvms, CKS etc.) and implements foundation for future improvements (this is currently targetted for 4.16): https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/4329
I can share something we're exploring at work which will be discussed in the community in the future (not targetting 4.16): * Support for IPv6 in VR (being discussed on dev@, phase1 in design/discussion - more on that in the other thread) * Getting rid of systemvm.iso (an internally PoC confirmed our idea, in our backlog - TBD) * Zero downtime upgrades using a new live patch admin API (patch the VR over ssh without destroying/rebooting it, in our backlog - TBD) * A new stable and faster, lightweight VR agent (in investigation/poc state - TBD) * Share-able networks for users (across projects/accounts) and user-shared networks (in design phase) * A new network entity/construct that allows users to bring their own VR appliances and create VNF/custom networks (idea phase) Regards. ________________________________ From: peter.murysh...@zv.fraunhofer.de <peter.murysh...@zv.fraunhofer.de> Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2021 13:44 To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: AW: Future of VPR - updates?
