When looking at the project's roadmap we distinguish between the short-term roadmap (2-6 months) vs. the mid/long-term roadmap (6-18 months):
- The short term roadmap is focused on achieving an end-to-end, easy to deploy and stable confidential containers solution. We track this work on a number of github boards.
- The mid and long term roadmap focuses on use case driven development.
The short-term roadmap is based on our github boards and delivered through our on-going releases
In CoCo use case driven development we identify the main functional requirements the community requires by focusing on key use cases.
This helps the community deliver releases which address real use cases customers require and focusing on the right priorities. The use case driven development approach also includes developing the relevant CI/CDs to ensure end-to-end use cases the community delivers work over time.
We target the following use cases:
- Confidential Federated Learning
- Multi-party Computing (data clean room, confidential spaces etc)
- Trusted Pipeline (Supply Chain)
- Confidential RAG LLMs
A dedicated working group leads this effort. For additional details we recommend reviewing the working group's notes: Confidential containers use cases driven development
