+========================
+Ocata Project Priorities
+========================
+
+This is a list of development priorities the Ironic team is prioritizing for
+Ocata development, in order of priority. The primary contact listed is
+responsible for tracking the status of that work and herding cats to help get
+that work done.

+
+Portgroups support
+------------------
+
+This has been in progress for a couple cycles now and is almost complete. It
+allows for using bonding to support a single connection over multiple NICs.
+Let's get it done in Ocata.
+
+Rolling upgrades
+----------------
+
+Many OpenStack projects are beginning to support rolling upgrades - we should
+too. Let's do our part to make downtimes a thing of the past. This involves
+code changes, new multi-node CI jobs, and reviewer/developer documentation.
+
+Security groups
+---------------
+
+This covers security groups on the provisioning network(s). It barely missed
+the Newton release and is essentially done, let's finish it in Ocata.
+
+Interface attach/detach API
+---------------------------
+
+This makes our API to attach a Neutron port to an Ironic port object a
+first-class API, rather than pushing data into a JSON blob. It also refactors
+how Nova attaches these ports together. This is a pre-requisite for VLAN-aware
+instances, so let's get it done and unblock that for Pike.
+
+Generic boot-from-volume
+------------------------
+
+This work allows generic hardware to boot from cinder volumes or NFS, allowing
+diskless nodes to be managed by ironic. This also lays down the framework for
+hardware-specific implementations to be built.
+
+Driver composition
+------------------
+
+This work refactors the way that drivers are composed internally, as well as
+allowing operators to mix and match drivers for each interface rather than
+guessing at which driver is which combination. This allows us to stop
+exploding our driver matrix with every interface addition.
+
+Rescue mode
+-----------
+
+This is necessary for users that lose regular access to their machine (e.g.
+lost passwords). The spec was merged in Newton, the code is partially done,
+let's put some effort into making progress here in Ocata.
+
+CI refactoring
+--------------
+
+We have too many jobs, and we have a plan to consolidate those jobs. We need
+to do that ASAP, as infra isn't interested in adding more jobs for us until
+then.
+
+Smaller things
+--------------
+
+There's a number of smaller changes we'd like to accomplish in Ocata, or larger
+things that are nearly code-complete. These include:
+
+* etags in the REST API
+* spec for ironic-python-agent's REST API versioning
+* spec for deploy steps
+* spec for specific fault support
+* adding more notifications
+* soft power off and NMI support
+* node tags
