Open Stack

Hello!

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
cloud-based services and solutions based mostly on OpenStack.

We are about to evaluate the OpenStack project Trove in order to try to provide a reasonable and robust kind of DBaaS solution
to our customers. As a first step i created a test environment based on DevStack (based in turn on latest release of OpenStack)
including Trove (version 14.1.0.dev18) and i am currently evaluating the things. I see many promising features, like Docker-based
deployments of database instances on dedicated images possible to be created and configured through Trove utilities, also some
important security improvements of RabbitMQ message handling ensuring encryption key usage in communication with the db instances etc.. 
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
out by us. 

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
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
to DBaaS development. 

I know that many DBaaS projects are nowadays based on Kubernetes and development of specific operators that provide certain kind of
automated database services, but we are still interested about Trove as a native DBaaS project that well integrates into OpenStack and
provides multitenancy, redundancy, and so on.

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 
more what we could build and provide based on that project.

Best Regards
