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: https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/07/19/introducing-database-as-a-service… And some slapdash user documentation here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Adding_a_Database_to_a_Cloud_VPS_P… Bugs and doc-patches are always welcome! -Andrew + the WMCS team _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.… _______________________________________________ Cloud mailing list -- cloud(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud.lists.wikimedia.org/
