The CERN Tape Archive (CTA) manages the archival and retrieval of more than one Exabyte of physics data produced by the many experiments at CERN. CTA has proved adequate to the operational demands of LHC Run-3. Preparations have already started for Run-4 and the High-Luminosity LHC era, with significant performance, scalability, and operational improvements foreseen. This contribution reports on the current production status of CTA and outlines the roadmap for LS3.
