Why Attend LISA?

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

LISA14 Attendee

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

An Introduction to Database as a Service with an Emphasis on OpenStack Using Trove, and Exploration of the Architecture and Internals

Invited Talk
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 - 2:00pm-2:45pm

Amrith Kumar, Tesora

Abstract: 

This presentation provides a high level introduction to Database as a Service, and focuses on DBaaS with OpenStack Trove. It also presents an in depth exploration of the Trove architecture.

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 also 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.”
 
It presents some practical examples of benefits achieved in adopting DBaaS, shares learnings from the adoption process, and highlights some potential pitfalls. It helps the participant understand the internals and architecture of Trove and provides the participant with knowledge that would be useful in assessing, deploying and managing Trove in the enterprise. It concludes with a view of the road map of features for upcoming releases.
