TOPIC
Introduction to OpenStack Trove + OpenStack Horizon Plugins

ABSTRACT 
Trove
As OpenStack Cloud Computing grows in adoption, a key requirement from customers is simplified integration of their databases into the cloud fabric. Trove, OpenStack's database as a service component, meets the demands for scalability and cost reduction by enabling seamless integration and management of multiple databases on OpenStack. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how Trove can be leveraged to provision and manage popular relational and non-relational databases via a single unified management interface and discuss the latest capabilities and features.

Horizon
If you have a service and want a UI for it, this session is for you! Learn how to write a dashboard plugin for your custom service as well as add visual enhancements to make your dashboard stand out. Horizon is the official OpenStack dashboard providing access to your services via the Web UI. Since the shift toward more client-side development since the Kilo release cycle, it has developed a robust plugin mechanism. We will explore all the recent enhancements to this model (including the extension points), give a live demo (gasp!), cover the best practices and our roadmap for the future.
