A few weeks ago we rolled out a new service for Cloud VPS users:
OpenStack Trove, aka 'Database as a Service.'

Trove provides automatic orchestration of stand-alone database
instances. In brief, you tell Trove to create a database server with a
given size and backend, and it builds and manages the server and
provides you with ready-made access links. You can also manage databases
and users with Trove, or get a root prompt on the backend itself to
create users and databases.

We have only tested this a little bit, so I invite anyone with interest
to give this a try and let us know what works and what doesn't.

There's a longer blog post about this feature here:

And some slapdash user documentation here:

Bugs and doc-patches are always welcome!
