When looking at the project's roadmap we distinguish between short term roadmap (2-4 month) vs the mid-long term roadmap (4-12 month): the mid-long term roadmap (4-12 month):

# Mid/long term roadmap  # Mid term roadmap
TBD Continue our journey using knowledge and support of SME's in other projects to form stronger
opinions on what is needed from components which can be integrated to deliver the confidential
containers objectives.
- Harden the code used for the demos, improve CI/CD, release process
- Establish processes and tools to support planning, prioritisation, and work in progress
- Simplify the process to get up and running with different underlying Trusted Execution
Environments
- Develop a small, simple, secure, lightweight and high performance OCI container image
management library [image-rs](https://github.com/confidential-containers/image-rs) for
confidential containers.
- Develop small, simple shim firmware ( [td-shim](https://github.com/confidential-containers/td-shim) )
in support of trusted execution environment for use with cloud native confidential containers.
# Longer term roadmap
Focused meetings will be setup to discuss architecture and the priority of longer term objectives
in the process of being setup.
Each meeting will have an agreed focus with people sharing material/thoughts ahead of time.
Topics under consideration:
- CI/CD + Repositories
- Community Structure and expectations
- 2 on Mid Term Architecture
- Attestation
- Images
- Runtimes
Proposed Topics to influence long term direction/architecture.
- Baremetal / Peer Pod
- Composability of alternative technologies to deliver confidential containers.
- Performance
- Identity / Service Mesh
- Reproducible Builds/Demos
- Edge Computing
- Reduce footprint of image pull
