# OLM De-Scoping Plan Overview

This is Chris Johnson's (IBM) point of view and tracking of the next-generation OLM API plans as I see them.

Operator Lifecycle Manager is evolving to a new API that will separate out several concerns that are currently combined into an API that is largely incompatible with many of today's use cases:
- Tenancy
- Security 
- Declarative provisioning

There is no single API or issue to follow.  This new API is a set of new features which are described here:
