ZCP roadmap # What we are building next. ZCP is becoming a developer cloud that runs in ZSoftly regions, private environments, and partner data centers. This roadmap shows direction and lifecycle, not a promise of exact release dates. [Start building on ZCP](https://cloud.zcp.zsoftly.ca/register) [See availability](https://zsoftly.ca/availability) 27 Strategic items A focused public view 4 Lifecycle stages From direction to availability Last updated October 20, 2026 Targets are reviewed as the work changes. From services to platform ## The path to ZCP. ZCP grew out of ZSoftly's professional services practice. The milestones below separate our company origin, partner ecosystem, private-cloud engineering, and public-cloud product work. 1. Feb 09, 2025 ### ZSoftly starts with professional services The founding team defined the company around cloud security, DevOps, cloud migration, and practical technology services. 2. Apr 04, 2025 ### The partner model takes shape Strategic partner planning became part of the operating model as ZSoftly prepared a broader services ecosystem. 3. Apr 12, 2025 ### Partner ecosystem expands Partner documentation covered Vanta, JumpCloud, GitLab, and related security and DevOps tooling for customer delivery. 4. May 08, 2025 ### AWS partner work begins AWS partner accreditation work joined the services and partner program alongside the existing cloud delivery practice. 5. June 2025 ### The private-cloud direction is conceived ZSoftly began exploring how to operate private clouds and package infrastructure as a managed product, extending the professional-services model. 6. December 2025 to January 2026 ### The hosted business suite becomes platform work ZSoftly codified and operated a hosted suite of open-source business applications through GitOps, including identity, helpdesk, automation, passwords, knowledge, security, time tracking, databases, observability, and CI runners. 7. Jan 23, 2026 ### Dedicated IaaS engineering begins The IaaS repository formalized CloudStack and OpenStack architecture, Proxmox, KVM, Ceph, networking, storage, and the deployment foundations for private-cloud delivery. 8. Mar 22, 2026 ### ZCP public beta begins ZCP entered public beta with YOW-1 as the only live region. The first public product surface began, followed by public-release preparation for the ZCP CLI on March 23. 9. Mar 26, 2026 ### YOW becomes the first ZCP region The YOW CloudStack foundation brought together KVM compute, Ceph storage, networking, monitoring, and Kubernetes service work for the first regional platform. 10. May 04, 2026 ### Regional platform assembly accelerates CloudStack networking, storage, VPCs, Terraform modules, deployment automation, and regional operations moved into active build-out. 11. May 07, 2026 ### YUL becomes the second live region The YUL zone bring-up established regional CloudStack, Ceph, networking, DNS, and customer control-plane foundations for Montreal deployments. 12. Jun 10, 2026 ### The universal control plane takes shape The API, CLI, documentation, and Terraform provider began converging around one ZCP resource model. 13. Jul 19, 2026 ### Developer releases establish a cadence The CLI and Terraform provider reached regular release activity across compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and DNS. 14. Aug 22, 2026 ### YUL local storage tiers become available Host-local NVMe and SATA SSD storage choices became available in YUL-1 for workloads with an application-level recovery design. 15. Sep 01, 2026 ### Postpaid billing becomes available New customers gained a Postpaid billing option alongside Prepaid during account signup. 16. Sep 06, 2026 ### Kubernetes and onboarding documentation advance Kubernetes 1.37 became available for new managed clusters while the documentation gained clearer service navigation and onboarding guides. 17. Sep 07, 2026 ### CLI and infrastructure-as-code releases ship CLI v0.0.28 and v0.0.29 fixed backup and volume-listing failures and redacted credentials in debug output. Provider v0.2.0 expanded object-storage and network configuration. Public product direction ## A clear path from idea to service. We publish a small set of product themes so teams know where ZCP is headed without turning the public roadmap into an internal project tracker. 27 items ### Exploring Direction under evaluation 6 YUL lower-cost shared HDD storage Core cloud No date committedUpdated Aug 20, 2026 AI application hosting and operations Developer platform No date committedUpdated Aug 20, 2026 Managed databases Data and AI No date committedUpdated Jun 22, 2026 Universal deployment package Universal control plane No date committedUpdated Jun 10, 2026 Private AI and data platform Data and AI No date committedUpdated Jun 19, 2026 Regional expansion Core cloud No date committedUpdated Sep 07, 2026 ### Building Active product work 7 Backup schedules and storage-based billing Core cloud Updated Oct 03, 2026 Resource-based Kubernetes billing Account and billing Updated Oct 03, 2026 Redesigned Store Account and billing Updated Oct 03, 2026 Marketplace deployment email Developer platform Updated Oct 03, 2026 ZCP CMP and PaaS runtime Developer platform Target Q4 2026Updated Aug 09, 2026 Platform observability Core cloud Target Q4 2026Updated Jun 27, 2026 ZCP Training and Certification Training and certification Target Q1 2027Updated Oct 20, 2026 ### Preview Available for early use 0 No public items are in this stage yet. ### Available Ready for customers 14 Compute and storage sold separately (Pricing V2) Account and billing Released Oct 11, 2026Updated Oct 11, 2026 CLI v1.0.1 and provider v1.0.0 Universal control plane Released Oct 11, 2026Updated Oct 11, 2026 Terraform provider root disk sizing Universal control plane Released Oct 11, 2026Updated Oct 11, 2026 Compute, storage, and networking Core cloud Updated Sep 07, 2026 YUL local storage tiers Core cloud Updated Aug 22, 2026 OPNsense Marketplace image Core cloud Updated Sep 07, 2026 Public API and CLI Universal control plane Updated Oct 11, 2026 Kubernetes Engine Developer platform Updated Sep 06, 2026 Account and project console Universal control plane Updated Aug 09, 2026 Prepaid and Postpaid billing Account and billing Released Sep 01, 2026Updated Sep 07, 2026 Terraform and OpenTofu provider Universal control plane Updated Oct 11, 2026 Expanded Marketplace catalog Developer platform Updated Sep 07, 2026 Service navigation and onboarding guides Developer platform Updated Sep 06, 2026 Intel Xeon compute capacity Core cloud Updated Aug 16, 2026 [Availability ## Where services run.
