Exploring the transient optical sky, of which microlensing is a key phenomenon, is one of the four science pillars of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). In this talk, I will describe the approach of Rubin Observatory and the Survey Cadence Optimization Committee to designing LSST such that it balances the demands of its diverse science cases and maximizes its discovery potential for new phenomena, particularly in the time domain. While the SCOC is converging on broad recommendations on LSST's footprint and cadence, I will highlight a number of questions about the survey strategy that remain, particularly in the areas of strong interest to the microlensing community.
