Doug Shelley from Tesora gave a presentation on OpenStack Trove and Database as a Service (DBaaS) at the OpenStack Toronto Meetup. He discussed the challenges of traditional database management versus cloud databases, and introduced OpenStack Trove as an open source DBaaS solution like Amazon RDS. Trove provides automated provisioning, management and scaling of relational and non-relational databases running on OpenStack. Recent improvements to Trove were highlighted as well as upcoming features planned for the Newton release.

“These Ops guys
don’t get it...”
“We have no idea what
they are putting on the
public cloud”
“I know that
they are putting our
customer data at risk”
“Why can’t they
just use Oracle?”
“My budget
and team aren’t getting
any bigger”
“We need time to
do it right”
