<div class="iw_mail" dir="auto" style="font-size: 13px;"><div>Hello!</div><div><br></div><div>My name is Bekir Fajkovic, i am resided in Sweden and i work as a member of a DBA team at City Network company that provides</div><div>cloud-based services and solutions based mostly on OpenStack.</div><div><br></div><div>We are about to evaluate the OpenStack project Trove in order to try to provide a reasonable and robust kind of DBaaS solution</div><div>to our customers. As a first step i created a test environment based on DevStack (based in turn on latest release of OpenStack)</div><div>including Trove (version 14.1.0.dev18) and i am currently evaluating the things. I see many promising features, like Docker-based</div><div>deployments of database instances on dedicated images possible to be created and configured through Trove utilities, also some</div><div>important security improvements of RabbitMQ message handling ensuring encryption key usage in communication with the db instances etc.. </div><div>I do not see MSSQL datastore type provided in the initial setup but i guess that is a subject of extra configuration that can be carried</div><div>out by us. </div><div><br></div><div>So, i wonder about the status of the project in general, to begin with. According to some rumours going around, the project is to be</div><div>abandoned soon by the developers and i would like to get that confirmed or not, just in order for us to make further decisions in regards</div><div>to DBaaS development. </div><div><br></div><div>I know that many DBaaS projects are nowadays based on Kubernetes and development of specific operators that provide certain kind of</div><div>automated database services, but we are still interested about Trove as a native DBaaS project that well integrates into OpenStack and</div><div>provides multitenancy, redundancy, and so on.</div><div><br></div><div>I would be very pleased if we could get more in contact with OpenStack Trove Team somehow, to establish some sort of dialogue and to see </div><div>more what we could build and provide based on that project.</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards</div><div class="iw-signature"><p><img style="width:1.7708in;height:.3229in;" src="https://www.citynetwork.eu/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/CityNetwork-Logo-Regular-2015-RGB.png" width="170" height="31" id="webClient__x0000_i1025" border="0"></p><p><strong>Bekir Fajkovic</strong><br>Senior DBA<br>Mobile: +46 70 019 48 47<br><br><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.citynetwork.eu/">www.citynetwork.eu</a> | <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.citycloud.com/">www.citycloud.com</a><br><br>INNOVATION THROUGH OPEN IT INFRASTRUCTURE<br>ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 27015 & 27018 CERTIFIED</p></div></div>
