| description: | The Deis project roadmap |
The Deis Roadmap is a community document created as part of the open :ref:`planning`. Each roadmap item describes a high-level capability or grouping of features that are deemed important to the future of Deis.
Given the project's rapid :ref:`Release Schedule, <release_schedule>` roadmap items are designed to provide a sense of direction over many releases.
Deis must support 100% automated, zero-downtime updates of the control plane. Like CoreOS, Deis clusters should be attached to an alpha, beta or stable channel and rely on an automatic update mechanism. To accomplish this, Deis plans to use the Google Omaha Protocol as implemented by CoreUpdate.
- [ ] Update client/agent
- [ ] Update server
- [ ] CI Integration
Today Deis uses Fleet for scheduling. Unfortunately, Fleet does not support resource-based scheduling, which results in poor cluster utilization at scale.
Fortunately, Deis is composable and can easily hot-swap orchestration APIs. Because the most promising container orchestration solutions are under heavy development, the Deis project is focused on releasing "technology previews".
These technology previews will help the community try different orchestration solutions easily, report their findings and help guide the future direction of Deis.
- [X] Swarm preview
- [ ] Mesos preview
- [ ] Kubernetes preview
Today Deis cannot provide bi-directional streams needed for log tailing and interactive batch processes. By having the :ref:`Controller` drive a TTY Broker component, Deis can securely open WebSockets through the routing mesh.
- [ ] TTY Broker component
- [ ] Interactive Deis Run (deis run bash)
- [ ] Log Tailing (deis logs -f)
End-users should be able to push Docker-based applications into Deis from their local machine using deis push user/app.
This works around a number of authentication issues with private registries and deis pull.
- [ ] Docker Registry v2
- [ ] Deis Push
In Deis, connections to :ref:`concepts_backing_services` are meant to be explicit and modeled as a series of environment variables. Deis believes the Cloud Foundry Service Broker API is the best embodiment of this today.
- [ ] Deis Addons CLI (deis addons)
- [ ] PostgreSQL Service Broker
- [ ] Redis Service Broker
Deis installations today use custom solutions for monitoring, alerting and operational visibility. Deis will standardize the monitoring interfaces and provide open source agent(s) that can be used to ship telemetry to arbitrary endpoints.
- [ ] Host Telemetry (cpu, memory, network, disk)
- [ ] Container Telemetry (cpu, memory, network, disk)
- [ ] Platform Telemetry (control plane, data plane)
- [ ] Controller Telemetry (app created, build created, containers scaled)
