[Cloud-announce] Database as a Service in Cloud VPS - Cloud

19 Jul 2021


      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!
