Sure,

I was thinking that since heat would do autoscaling persay, then heat would say ask trove to make more databases (autoscale policy here) then this would cause trove to actually callback into heat to make more instances.

Just feels a little weird, idk.

Why didn't heat just make those instances "on behalf of trove" to begin with and then tell trove "make these instances into databases". Then trove doesn't really need to worry about calling into heat to do the instance creation "work", and trove can just worry about converting those "blank instances " into databases (for example).

But maybe I am missing other context also :)
