If you are a DBA / system administrator / architect, or a student who wants to build a Database as a Service based on Open Stack, this book is for you. You should have a basic knowledge of Open Stack components, RDBMS/No SQL, Iaa S, and cloud computing.

• Get to grips with the basics of Open Stack and the prerequisites to install Trove


• Understand the expectations of DBaa S and how Trove can help you achieve them


• Set up a basic installation of Dev Stack (Development Stack) in a virtual box


• Install Trove and utilize its configuration groups to manage and tune databases


• Use Image builder to create guest images for Trove


• Utilize Trove to provision your first database instance


• Back up and restore your databases with the help of Trove

Open Stack has become an extremely popular solution to build public and private clouds with. Database as a Service (DBaa S) enables the delivery of more agile database services at lower costs. Some other benefits of DBaa S are secure database deployments and compliance to standards and best practices. Trove is a DBaa S built on Open Stack and is becoming more popular by the day.

Since Trove is one of the most recent projects of Open Stack, DBAs and system administrators can find it difficult to set up and run a DBaa S using Open Stack Trove. This book helps DBAs make that step. We start by introducing you to the concepts of DBaa S and how is it implemented using Open Stack Trove. Following this, we look at implementing Open Stack and deploying Trove. Moving on, you will learn to create guest images to be used with Trove. We then look at how to provision databases in self-service mode, and how to perform administration tasks such as backup and recovery, and fine-tuning databases. At the end of the book, we will examine some advanced features of Trove such as replication.

This fast-paced, step-by-step guide introduces you to DBaa S, Open Stack Trove, and its components, leading you through building your own Cloud-based DBaa S. Using the Dev Stack deployment method, you will spend less time on installing Open Stack so you can devote more time to learning how to provision and manage databases in a DBaa S environment.
