Roadmap

The Roadmap captures the plans for VinylDNS. There are a few high-level features that are planned for active development:

1. DNS SEC - There is no first-class support for DNS SEC. That feature set is being defined.
2. Shared Zones - IP space and large common zones are cumbersome to manage using fine-grained ACL rules. Shared zones enable self-service management of records via a record ownership model for access controls. Record ownership assigns a group as the owner of the record to restrict who can modify that record.
3. Zone Management - Presently VinylDNS connects to existing zones for management. Zone Management will allow users to create and manage zones in the authoritative systems themselves.
4. Record meta data - VinylDNS will allow the "tagging" of DNS records with arbitrary key-value pairs

In addition to large feature initiatives, we will be looking to improve how VinylDNS is operated. The current installation requires the following components:

• At least one VinylDNS API server
• At least one VinylDNS portal server
• AWS DynamoDB
• MySQL Database
• AWS SQS Message Queues

We would like to:

• Run entirely in a single database without MySQL. This may be necessary as the query requirements of VinylDNS are exceeding the capabilities of DynamoDB.
• Support alternative message queues, for example RabbitMQ
• Support additional databases, including PostgreSQL and MongoDB
• Support additional languages
• Support additional automation tools
• A new user interface (the existing portal is built using AngularJS, there are new and better ways to UI these days)
