Roadmap

Near Term

• Keep the module command and compatibility script stable.
• Expand validation coverage as the config surface grows.
• Add more mocked and live integration coverage for Azure resource reconciliation.
• Add live Azure integration evidence for -WhatIf and deployment reruns.
• Continue reducing guest setup supply-chain risk with mirrored artifacts and checksums.

Module Hardening

• Add generated-name overrides.
• Extend Pester and CI coverage for future public module commands.
• Add more granular drift repair policies where Azure supports safe updates.

Feature Ideas

• VM size and SQL image discovery.
• Local Markdown cost estimates.
• Allowlisted sample database restore.
• Config-driven local backup upload with manifest generation.
• Optional First Responder Kit installer.
• Optional Ola Hallengren Maintenance Solution installer.

Long Term

• Bicep deployment path for teams that want Azure-native infrastructure as code.
• Terraform deployment path for teams that standardize cross-cloud infrastructure as code.
