Some of the features that are being done in R4 (for recollection)

K8S based Cloud region support
Deploy VMs and container based workloads.
VM and container description in Helm
Support for multiple resource types including Deployment, POD, Service, Config-map, CRDs, stateful set etc..
Support for multiple profiles, where given resource bundle definition is used to deploy multiple times.
Support for Day2 configuration of each individual profile/instance.
Networking:
- Support for dynamic and multiple networks
- Ability to place the POD in multiple networks
- Initial support for OVN for data networks
- Provider network support (using OVN)

Some features that are postponed to R5 are:

New requirements coming from various use cases

(Most of the requirements are coming from big data AI platform use case)

A way to deploy apps/services that span across multiple clusters.
Day2 configuration control of workloads at the app/service level as a transaction
Dependency graph (DAG) of deploying workloads across multiple clusters
Bulk deployment of apps/services in multiple clusters.
Function chaining
Multi-tenant management (such as namespaces, users etc...)
Edge Daemonset via labeling (for scheduler to know what kinds of apps/services to be deployed without any user intervention)
