# Roadmap
22

3-
High-level feature goals for KubeAid. The current implementation status of
4-
each item — what's done, what's in progress, and how it works — is documented
5-
in [Technical Details on the
6-
Features](./docs/kubeaid/features-technical-details.md).
7-
8-
This roadmap reflects current priorities and will shift as the project and
9-
its users grow; it isn't a committed release schedule.

## Feature goals
12-
13-
* Set up Kubernetes clusters on:
14-
* **Physical servers**: On-premise and [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/) Bare Metal
15-
* **Cloud VMs**: [Hetzner HCloud](https://www.hetzner.com/cloud), [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/), and
16-
[Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/)
17-
* **Managed control planes**: [AWS EKS](https://aws.amazon.com/eks/) and
18-
[Azure AKS](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/kubernetes-service)
19-
* **Hybrid clusters**: Combining Hetzner Bare Metal with HCloud VMs
20-
* Auto-scaling for all cloud Kubernetes clusters and easy scaling for physical
21-
servers
22-
* Manage an ever-growing list of open-source Kubernetes applications (see the
23-
[`argocd-helm-charts/`](./argocd-helm-charts/) folder for the current list)
24-
* Build advanced, customised Prometheus monitoring using just a per-cluster
25-
config file, with automated handling of trivial alerts, like disk filling
26-
* GitOps setup — ALL changes in a cluster are done via Git, AND we detect if
27-
anyone adds anything in the cluster or modifies existing resources without
28-
doing it through Git
29-
* Frequent updates for KubeAid-managed applications with security and bug
30-
fixes, ready to be issued to your cluster(s) at will — so you can focus on
31-
your business applications
32-
* [Air-gapped operation](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2023/10/12/bootstrap-an-air-gapped-cluster-with-kubeadm/)
33-
of your clusters, to ensure operational stability
34-
* Cluster security — proper NetworkPolicies to secure intra-cluster and
35-
ingress traffic, ensuring least privilege between applications
36-
* Backup, recovery and live migration of applications or entire clusters
37-
* Major cluster upgrades via a shadow Kubernetes setup (a parallel failover
38-
cluster that allows you to test upgrades and seamlessly switch over),
39-
utilising the recovery and live migration features
40-
* Supply-chain attack protection and discovery, with frequent security scans
41-
of all software used in the clusters (as new vulnerabilities are constantly
42-
being discovered)
3+
Most of what KubeAid set out to do is shipped — the [README](./README.md#features) lists the feature set and
4+
[Technical Details on the Features](./docs/kubeaid/features-technical-details.md) documents the implementation
5+
status of each piece. This roadmap lists what is genuinely open.
6+
7+
This reflects current priorities and will shift as the project and its users grow; it isn't a committed release
8+
schedule.
9+
10+
## Cluster lifecycle
11+
12+
- **`cluster recover` for cloud and managed control planes** — recovery is wired for self-managed AWS/Azure;
13+
EKS and AKS clusters currently re-bootstrap and restore from Velero backups manually.
14+
- **Hetzner day-2 parity**`cluster upgrade` and `cluster recover` for Hetzner Cloud, Bare Metal and hybrid
15+
clusters are work in progress (see the
16+
[kubeaid-cli provider matrix](https://github.com/Obmondo/kubeaid-cli#cloud-providers)).
17+
- **Day-2 `cluster sync` beyond bare metal** — reconciling config changes onto running Cluster API clusters;
18+
tracked in the [kubeaid-cli roadmap](https://github.com/Obmondo/kubeaid-cli/blob/main/ROADMAP.md).
19+
20+
## Resilience
21+
22+
- **Live cluster migration** — moving applications or whole clusters between environments (for example built on
23+
Cilium Cluster Mesh), which also unlocks major upgrades via a shadow cluster with seamless switchover.
24+
- **Full air-gapped operation** — maintaining an in-cluster copy of every container image in use and pointing
25+
all charts at it. Harbor proxy-cache with the kyverno rewrite policy covers clusters that deploy Harbor;
26+
the platform-wide flow is still open.

### Auto-scaling for all cloud Kubernetes clusters and easy scaling for physical servers

We currently have working autoscale for Amazon Web Services (AWS). On AKS, agent pools are scaled by AKS's

built-in cluster autoscaler.

KubeAid also supports the managed control planes on EKS and AKS: it can bootstrap and delete such clusters, and
2122
upgrades are done as a version bump in your GitOps repository.
