ZSoftly starts with professional services
The founding team defined the company around cloud security, DevOps, cloud migration, and practical technology services.
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.

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.
The partner model takes shape
Strategic partner planning became part of the operating model as ZSoftly prepared a broader services ecosystem.
Partner ecosystem expands
Partner documentation covered Vanta, JumpCloud, GitLab, and related security and DevOps tooling for customer delivery.
AWS partner work begins
AWS partner accreditation work joined the services and partner program alongside the existing cloud delivery practice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Regional platform assembly accelerates
CloudStack networking, storage, VPCs, Terraform modules, deployment automation, and regional operations moved into active build-out.
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.
The universal control plane takes shape
The API, CLI, documentation, and Terraform provider began converging around one ZCP resource model.
Developer releases establish a cadence
The CLI and Terraform provider reached regular release activity across compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and DNS.
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.
Postpaid billing becomes available
New customers gained a Postpaid billing option alongside Prepaid during account signup.
Kubernetes and onboarding documentation advance
Kubernetes 1.37 became available for new managed clusters while the documentation gained clearer service navigation and onboarding guides.
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.
Exploring
Direction under evaluation
Core cloud
YUL lower-cost shared HDD storage
Evaluate a durable shared HDD tier for backups, archives, and infrequently accessed data. A proposed b2.g3 category would sit apart from the local tiers and their recovery model.

AI application hosting and operations
Explore a managed hosting service for AI-generated websites, stores, SaaS products, learning platforms, and internal tools. The service would cover hosting, security, updates, backups, monitoring, and support after launch.

Active product work

Terraform provider update with root disk sizing
A Terraform and OpenTofu provider update will let you set the root disk size and block storage plan on instances, matching Pricing V2. No release date is set.
Last updated
Core cloud
Backup schedules and storage-based billing
Create, edit, pause, resume, and run backup schedules, each with its own timezone and retention policy. Activity logs track schedule creation and updates, runs, failures, and retention cleanup. Backup billing is moving from the schedule to the storage backups consume, and each backup subscription ends when its backup is deleted.
Last updated
Account and billing
Resource-based Kubernetes billing
Managed Kubernetes clusters will bill for the resources they provision: control-plane and worker virtual machines, block storage, networks, public IP addresses, and load balancers. The cluster itself will not carry a separate charge, and control-plane and worker nodes will take independent CPU and memory sizes. Existing billing configurations need an update. CSI integration is not included.

Available for early use
Universal control plane
Public API and CLI
Manage core platform building blocks through documented APIs and command-line workflows. CLI v0.0.30 adds custom VM configuration flags, load-balancer rule listing, and object-storage access-key rotation. Earlier releases added credential redaction, backup fixes, public-IP SSH preference, and complete volume listings.

Compute and storage sold separately (Pricing V2)
VM plans cover CPU and memory only. You choose the root disk size in GB at create time and pay the per-GB rate of the storage tier. Review and Deploy lists each charge on its own line. Existing servers keep their plan and price.

YUL local storage tiers
Host-local NVMe and SATA SSD data volumes and root-storage choices are available in YUL-1. A host or disk failure can make local data unavailable, so use application replication and backups when the workload needs recovery.
