[pve-devel] roadmap for proxmox 3.4 ?

about dataplane, blockjobs are coming for qemu 2.2. (first patches already sent to the mailing some days ago)

I have talked with paolo, and the roadmap seem to implement all features to dataplane.
(and make it the default in the future)

yes, the command line is stable now. (no more x-dataplane, it's use -object iothread,id=iothread0 -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread0,...). 

I'm going to do some tests next month. 

Performance are faster, but you need a really fast storage. (> 100.000 iops ;). Maybe it's use less cpu too. 
So usage is really specific. (for big database for example)

For their activity, they now that at a specific date, they need a lot more cpu/ram for a specific vm, 
so they would like to be able to plan auto upgrade memory,cpu at a specific date. 
(for example, at the begin of the month, they need to compute billing which take a lot of cpu for 2 days) 
This could be done with cronjobs and qm set ..., but they would like something more integrated. 

(so, I thinked about something more generic, like a target config which could be applied at a specific date (online hotplug,or offline with vm stop/start).

great

is that already stable? And is it really faster?

IMHO this one is really hard to do it right...

Mind to elaborate on that a bit more?
