Members from the MSP SIG both prompted new updates to the Ed-Fi roadmap, such as the Admin API and Single-Sign On for Ed-Fi Tools technical designs, which was created and reviewed as part of the SIG.  The Admin API is a new product on the Ed-Fi roadmap which will allow for the management of the Ed-Fi ODS/API platform via API interfaces, which can only be done via system scripting tasks or user interfaces like Admin App.  The SIG confirmed that today's approaches are burden to deploying Ed-Fi solutions and API-based approaches are preferred.  Single-Sign On requests led to the roadmap additions of support for OpenID Connect as an additional authorization strategy, which is preferred in cloud and MSP-solutions to integrate with existing identity stores in those environments.

From this MSP SIG, we've learned that Ed-Fi technology is delivering on core values important to these partners' businesses and in support of a greater mission within K-12 data interoperability.  We've heard directly and indirectly, the enthusiasm and passion for Ed-Fi work — it's technology deliverables, it's convening ability across numerous related communities and other aspects — and many identified that Ed-Fi is a core component into partner businesses and the work they deliver.

4.) Other Product Roadmap Features

From this discussion, we've learned and supported best practices MSPs use that is complimentary to the deployment and usage of Ed-Fi Technology.  We've gathered details in feature requests to continue to support the growth of the MSP sector - such as the support for external cache for the ODS/API to work better in cloud configurations, optimizations to release delivery cycle via Docker, how to store configuration information securely in cloud environments and more technical detailssetup and configuration of the ODS/API via Admin API and more.  These topics are in processes with the Ed-Fi Tech Team and additional roadmap considerations are being added to address these concerns to support MSP growth and more Ed-Fi deployments.  Below are tickets that are in progress around these requested activities:
