Roadmap features availability

[Kevin Meijer]

Hi there,

I just noticed that there are a couple of features on the roadmap that I am really interested in (Dynamic Resource Scheduling and better SDN). And I was curious if there is a ETA on when we can start experimenting with these features, even if its only in the pvetest repository.

I assume we see dynamic resource scheduling in Proxmox VE 7.3 (tech preview, Q4/2022)

Thank you for the information Tom.

Do PVE releases follow a certain cycle? Or is it more a "Its done when its done" approach?

when will be real enterprise features implemented ??

some examples ?
out of my head:
- autoscaling VMs (based on Memory, Ram, Storage)
- proper implementation of internal communication, sdn, in a cluster VMs need to be able to talk to each other (on each cluster the same networks and VMs need to move around - it just needs to work)
- visually create vSwitche
- the master gui for cluster need to be accessable if the master node is down
- update the cluster, not every node seperate

i could have 20 points more if i think harder

If you are missing 25 ("real enterprise") features, you might be better off with another solution that matches all your requirements; provided that this even exists...

you are right.
i dont say its not a good software, it is.
all requirements are met with vmware (to be honest) but 133000 dollar for 3 servers it is not even for discussion.
think big - if you want to play in the top leaque and want to attract other companies to use proxmox you need to have real enterprise functionality builtin. for example: communication cluster (VMs distributed over the cluster).
its not about me, its about other companies and customers. companies consider all options and functionalities and choose a product. but proxmox will be disqualified very soon, because (from my opinion) very important functions are missing and as a Plus a nice friendly gui with graphically output.
dont get me wrong, for me the software is ok (i fixed the cluster wide communication issue with sdn, like many other users) but not for professional use, for many companies (which doesnt mean, no big companies are using proxmox - i am sure, they are some)
PS: i am not a programmer rather a system engineer. if i have time i could build the logic for some extention but not the webgui.

(i fixed the cluster wide communication issue with sdn, like many other users)

What do you mean by that?

- the master gui for cluster need to be accessable if the master node is down

PVE has no master node

- update the cluster, not every node seperate

What sane person would want to update a whole cluster at once (and kill everything at once on an error)? NO other cluster solution I know does this, they all do the upgrade in batches.

I'm really interested in the other 20 points.

sounds like @pille99 wants something like nutanix..
