ReliabilityScalingStabilityTestingError handlingRelease management
Keystone
•Many “Improve Keystone” responses•Improve LDAP and AD integration•More granular RBAC support•Federation support
Miscellaneous
•Security•Metering / Billing•Orchestration•AWS Compatibility
• Simplify installation and configuration process• Rolling migrations with N-1 compatibility• Documentation–archive old content, end-user guide, problem guide, …• Security such as SSL options everywhere• Horizon lacks latest feature support, admin functionality and more
attractive theme• High availability out-of-the-box for OpenStack components and VM
restart• Active Directory integration
Foundation Priorities(Feedback from April 2013)
Operations Feedback Loop
1. User Committee anonymises the feedback• Ensure data confidentiality is preserved• Groups comments into different areas
2. Volunteers needed by area• Operations experience is needed as feedback is often brief and requires
interpretation• Technical OpenStack knowledge is also needed to work with the developers• Some time to dedicate to the task
3. Translate the user feedback into user stories• Several user stories per area to consolidate the needs• Prioritise based on impact and implementation
Operations Feedback Loop (II)
4. Work with development community to produce blueprints• Incremental, small steps• Realistic proposals essential• Provide sounding board for proposals from the developers
5. If further resources needed for implementation, slots to present to the board and technical committee can be arranged• TC has already received a summary of the comments before the summit to
assist in the design sessions
Can you help ?

Foundation Priorities(Feedback from April 2013)
• Ensure compatibility across different implementations• Stability/Hardening of existing functionality• Establish certification program• Encourage training for different skill sets• Support user groups, especially outside U.S.
