1. Introduction and Deep Dive into OpenStack Trove Project

Description: An Introduction and Deep Dive into OpenStack Trove Project (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove), with Kilo preview. Aimed at a broad audience including IT Managers, CxO, database users, DevOps, or Developers in an IT organization, this presentation provides an introduction to OpenStack Trove, Database as a Service, and will also present an in depth exploration of the architecture of Trove, with a view of the roadmap of features for upcoming events.

It presents some practical examples of benefits achieved in adopting DBaaS, and shares learnings from the adoption process, and highlights some potential pitfalls. It helps participants understand the internals and architecture of Trove and provides the participate with knowledge that would be useful in assessing, deploying and managing Trove in the enterprise. It will conclude by presenting a view of the roadmap of features for upcoming releases, including Kilo.

It helps answer such questions as, “What are some major problems faced by IT and database users in the organization”, “What are the benefits of DBaaS”, “What is OpenStack Trove”, “How does Trove relate to such things as Amazon RDS, MongoHQ, Heroku, DynamoDB, HP Cloud Relational Database and Rackspace Cloud Databases”, “Should I offer DBaaS to my organization”, and “Practical considerations in migrating to DBaaS”.

It explores such concepts as “How does Trove interact with other OpenStack services”, “What are the various components of Trove”, “What are guest agents”, “How are requests to Trove processed”, “How does Trove handle such activities as Backup and Restore, Clustering and Replication”, and “How does Trove support multiple database types”.

2. Event Driven Infrastructure with Live Demo on OpenStack

Description: Cloud agnostic python based platform for executing code when change happens in your cloud environment. The dev team at DivvyCloud developed a plugin and event system that allows python code to be executed when change occurs in a cloud infrastructure. We do this by continually harvesting the state of the cloud environment and comparing it to the previously known state. Through this comparison we can detect change, that will result in an event being fired and registered plugins being executed. Using this technology, DevOps teams can begin to write python based plugins that autonomously manage their cloud environment.

Because we think this system is very powerful (and very cool), we are thinking about giving it to the open source community. But before we put the energy into getting it all fancied up, we want your feedback. Please come out and watch a demonstration of our Event Driven Infrastructure Platform and let us know what you think. Live demonstration will be done against on-site Intel NUC OpenStack Cluster (This is also very cool!).
