+Ansible Roadmap
1
+=============
2
+This document is now the location for published Ansible Core roadmaps.     
3
+
4
+The roadmap will be updated by version. Based on team and community feedback an initial roadmap will be published for a major or minor version (2.0, 2.1)  Subminor versions will generally not have roadmaps published.
5
+
6
+This is the first time we've published this and asked for feedback in exactly this manner.  So feedback on the roadmap and the new process is quite welcome.  We're aiming for further transparency and better inclusion of both community desires and submissions.  
7
+
8
+These are our *best guess* roadmaps based on our own experience and based on requests and feedback from the community.  There are things that may not make it on due to time constraints, lack of community maintainers, etc.  And there may be things we missed, so each roadmap is both published as an idea of what's upcoming in Ansible, but also as a medium for seeking further feedback from the community. Here are the good places for you to submit feedback:
9
+
10
+  * Our google-group ansible-devel
11
+  *  Ansible Fest conferences.  
12
+  * IRC: Our freenode channel #ansible (this one may have things lost in lots of conversation, so a caution).

+2.1 Roadmap
15
+==========
16
+## Windows, General
17
+* Figuring out privilege escalation (runas w/ username/password)
18
+* Implement kerberos encryption over http
19
+* pywinrm conversion to requests (Some mess here on pywinrm/requests. will need docs etc.)
20
+* NTLM support
21
+
22
+## Modules
23
+* Windows
24
+  * Finish cleaning up tests and support for post-beta release. 
25
+  * Strict mode cleanup (one module in core)
26
+  * Domain user/group management
27
+  * finish win\_host and win\_rm in the domain/workgroup modules. 
28
+    * Close 2 existing PRs (These were deemed insufficient)
29
+  * Replicate python module API in PS/C# (deprecate hodgepodge of stuff from module_utils/powershell.ps1)
30
+* Network
31
+  * Cisco modules (ios, iosxr, nxos, iosxe)
32
+  * Arista modules (eos)
33
+  * Juniper modules (junos)
34
+  * OpenSwitch
35
+  * Cumulus
36
+  * Dell (os10) - At risk
37
+  * Netconf shared module
38
+  * Hooks for supporting Tower credentials
39
+* VMware (This one is a little at risk due to staffing. We're investigating some community maintainers and shifting some people at Ansible around, but it is a VERY high priority).
40
+  * vsphere\_guest brought to parity with other vmware modules (vs Viasat and 'whereismyjetpack' provided modules)
41
+  * VMware modules moved to official pyvmomi bindings
42
+  * VMware inventory script updates for pyvmomi, adding tagging support
43
+* Azure (Notes: This is on hold until microsoft releases a working code generator.  We have basic modules working against all of these resources.  Could ship it against current SDK, but may break. Or should we pin the version?)
44
+  * Minimal Azure coverage using new ARM api
45
+  * Resource Group
46
+  * Virtual Network
47
+  * Subnet
48
+  * Public IP
49
+  * Network Interface
50
+  * Storage Account
51
+  * Security Group
52
+  * Virtual Machine
53
+  * Update of inventory script to use new API, adding tagging support
54
+* Docker:
55
+  * Start Docker module refactor
56
+  * Update to match current docker CLI capabilities
57
+  * Docker exec support
58
+* Upgrade other cloud modules or work with community maintainers to upgrade.  (In order)
59
+  * AWS (Community maintainers)
60
+  * Openstack (Community maintainers)
61
+  * Google (Google/Community) 
62
+   * Digital Ocean (Community)
63
+* Ziploader: 
64
+  * Write code to create the zipfile that gets passed across the wire to be run on the remote python.  
65
+  * Port most of the functionality in module_utils to be usage in ziploader instead. 
66
+  * Port a few essential modules to use ziploader instead of module-replacer as proof of concept.  
67
+  *  New modules will be able to use ziploader.  Old modules will need to be ported in future releases (Some modules will not need porting but others will)
68
+  * Better testing of modules, caching of modules clientside(Have not yet arrived at an architecture for this that we like.  Low priority), better code sharing between ansible/ansible and modules
69
+  * ziploader is a helpful building block for: python3 porting(high priority), better code sharing between modules(medium priority)
70
+  * ziploader is a good idea before: enabling users to have custom module_utils directories
71
+* Expand module diff support (already in progress in devel)
72
+  * Framework done. Need to add to modules, test etc. 
73
+  * Coordinate with community to update their modules.  
74
+* Things we are kicking down the road that we said we’d do
75
+  * NOT remerging core with ansible/ansible this release cycle.
76
+* Community stuff
77
+  * Define the process/ETA for reviewing PR’s from community.  
78
+  * Publish better docs and how-tos for submitting code/freatures/fixes.
