# Road map

Updated 2024-09.
Updated 2024-11.

## Growing coverage of cloud platforms

We've been primarily focused on AWS, and there is plenty more to model there.
We hope to start on GCP, Azure, and other platforms as well. If there is
something specific you want or need, come chat with us on
[Discord](https://discord.com/invite/q6H2ZyFh) anytime, but specifically
on Authoring Friday's!

## Management components

Think of this like templates and workflows smashed together. Essentially
Think of this like templates, import and workflows smashed together. Essentially
components that can create and manage other components. Think "applications"
that take properties, and then expand into the required infrastructure; or have
deploy actions that pull from artifact repositories and then run actions across
the infrastructure.

### Current Opportunity: Management Functions

Management functions allow a model to manage its own attributes; create,
update, and delete components; and enqueue actions. In their first iteration,
they’ll be used for three big use cases: importing existing cloud resources,
modular templating, and management of existing components. [Read the blog post to learn more.](https://www.systeminit.com/blog/opportunity-management-functions)

This is currently in internal testing behind a feature flag and is anticipated
to be Generally Available, December 2024.

## Discovery of existing cloud resources
### Import (Generally Available)

This starts with having an Import feature, that will let you connect any
component to an existing resource. Eventually, we would like this to expand
to also discovering related infrastructure.
This will let you connect any component to an existing resource.

## More ways to visualize
Read our
[announcement blog post](https://www.systeminit.com/blog/announcing-resource-import)
to learn more about import functionality

You can collapse and expand infrastructure today, but we want to be able to
create custom views, allow you to drill down, etc.
### Discovery of existing cloud resources

### Current Opportunity: Views
Discover builds on import where you can discover all infrastructure within a
cloud environment

## Enterprise Features

Custom authentication, ubiquitous access control, history, etc.

### Approval Workflows via ReBAC (Generally Available)

We are laying the foundation of a relationship based access control (ReBAC)
system using SpiceDB. This first iteration of work allows a workspace to have a
defined set of approvers who curate the changes to the infrastructure before it
is applied (and therefore, before making any changes to real infrastructure).

### Audit History

We are providing the functionality that allows users of a workspace to see every
change that has happened, who made them and when. The first iteration of this
work will allow users to be able to have basic sorting and filtering of events.

This is currently in internal testing behind a feature flag and is anticipated
to be Generally Available, December 2024.

## Growing coverage of cloud platforms

## Scaling to huge infrastructures
We are using
[Generative AI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligence)
as a way to accelerate the speed at which we can provide high-quality assets. We
are still primarily focused on AWS, as we need to increase the coverage and
quality of the assets there, but we hope to start on Google Cloud, Azure and
other platforms as well. If there is something specific you want or need, come
chat with us on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/q6H2ZyFh) anytime.

This is both visual scale, but also front and back-end scale.
This is currently in internal testing behind a feature flag and is anticipated
to be Generally Available, January 2025.
