Thanks Ruslan, that's really helpful. Asking a few more questions to
make sure I got it right.

So to take a practical example, Murano lets you pick (using UI or CLI) a
wordpress package (which requires a DB) and compose it with a mysql
package (which provides a DB), and will deploy that composition using
Heat ? And additionally, it provides package-publisher-friendly features
like certification, licensing and bulling ?

Does that mean, to come back to my example above, that we could
substitute a Trove resource to the mysql package ? or put a Neutron
LBaaS load balancer on top ? or publish a DNS entry via Designate ?
