1. UCS Route UCS - Roadmap 2014 Stefan Gohmann Head of Software Engineering

2. 2014 The year of UCS 4Roadmap 2014 3. UCS 4 under the hood Base system Interaction with Active Directory domains Management system App Center VirtualizationRoadmap 2014 4. Base system Update the base distribution to Debian 7 (Wheezy) A lot of package updates Some components will be newer Only 64-bit Installation DVDs Debian Installer for the initial configuration Partitioning, network and administrative credentials Everything else through Univention Management Console Faster and smaller desktopRoadmap 2014 5. Interaction with Active Directory domains Mission: Use UCS with Apps in an Active Directory domain Currently UCS 3 can be an Active Directory domain take over an Active Directory domain synchronize objects with an Active Directory domainRoadmap 2014 6. Synchronization with Active Directory domains Three major issues: Password service needs to be installed on the Active Directory server Two domains (UCS domain, Active Directory domain) No kerberos single sign-onRoadmap 2014 7. Possible solutions Join of Samba 4 in the Active Directory domain Currently not supported by the Samba Team Sysvol synchronization not yet implemented New DC increases the complexity Samba 4 trusts Not yet fully implemented and supported by the Samba Team Simple LDAP bind will not work Both are useful, but for other scenariosRoadmap 2014 8. Interaction with Active Directory domains Synchronization or replication of users, groups and computers with the UCS Active Directory Connector No password synchronization Kerberos Join into the Active Directory domain LDAP bind uses kerberos against Active Directory for the password verification Easy setup through UMC installation wizardRoadmap 2014 9. Management system Reduce complexity: IT as easy as it should be! Feedback loop with customers, partners and tester More usability tests New UMC modules Active Directory Take Over Server HealthRoadmap 2014 10. Management system New setup wizard Domain wide update module Cloning of users and groups Support for higher screen resolutions Roadmap 2014 11. App Center Make different integration levels visible Buy apps via App Center Stable interfaces Smooth update from UCS 3.2 to UCS 4 Reduce app integration complexity Central app administrationRoadmap 2014 12. Virtualization Xen vs. KVM Supported both for a long time Features are identical Not yet decided which one will be supported with UCS 4 Send us feedback: feedback@univention.de Amazon EC2 + OpenStack backend support for UCS Virtual Machine Manager New UCS instance with one clickRoadmap 2014 13. UCS 4 How do we get there? Bundle releases every three months UCS 3.2-1: February 17th, 2014 UCS 3.2-2: May 15th, 2014 UCS 3.2-3: August 15th, 2014 UCS 3.2-4: November 17th, 2014 Some of the features will be available for UCS 3.2 UCS 4.0: November 2014Roadmap 2014 14. UCS@school & UCC Nico Gulden Product Manager 15. Upcoming Feature-Release Management system: Wizard for user mass import via CSV files Control teacher access to student home directories Computer room clients: Link to UCS@school management interface on Windows desktop Improve stability for iTALC Documentation & Tests: Documentation: Scaling UCS@school, additional UCS systems Extend automatic testsRoadmap 2014 16. Release scheduled: End of May 2014Roadmap 2014 17. Features Still ungoing Discussion! Update based distribution to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Thar) Support for recent hardware Next release will be UCC 2.0! Terminal services: Drop X forwarding implementation Under discussion: Terminal services via xrdp Managementsystem: UMC modul for UCC image management (e.g. download, update of images) Wizard to create UCC clients more comfortableRoadmap 2014 18. Release scheduled: Around 1 month after Ubuntu 14.04Roadmap 2014 19. Questions?
