It was before AWS re:Invent, so obviously some of the details in the talk have changed. For one, now there is also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/AmazonWebServices\/dat209-new-launch-introducing-mariadb-on-amazon-rds\">Amazon RDS for MariaDB<\/a>. But there has also been other changes, i.e. HP\u2019s Public Cloud (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hpcloud.com\/\">HP Helion Public Cloud<\/a>) will <strong>sunset January 31 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><center><a title=\"Databases in the Hosted Cloud - Percona Live Amsterdam.001\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/byte\/22340318820\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5701\/22340318820_29c772d0a2.jpg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Databases in the Hosted Cloud - Percona Live Amsterdam.001\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a slide from my deck. I basically have to caution users as to what\u2019s going on in the cloud world when it comes to their databases. And this one slide shows news reports about HP possibly wanting to exit the cloud world back in April 2015. See: <a href=\"http:\/\/bits.blogs.nytimes.com\/2015\/04\/07\/hp-comes-to-terms-with-the-cloud\/\">HP Comes to Terms With the Cloud<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/hp-claims-it-wasnt-leaving-the-public-cloud\/\">HP: We\u2019re not leaving the public cloud<\/a>, and of course the HP blog post from Bill Hilf:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www8.hp.com\/hpnext\/posts\/hp-helion-strategy-deliver-hybrid-it-continues-strong#.Vi_ztROqqko\">HP Helion Strategy to Deliver Hybrid IT Continues Strong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The tune has of course changed in October 2015:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/h30499.www3.hp.com\/t5\/Grounded-in-the-Cloud\/A-new-model-to-deliver-public-cloud\/ba-p\/6804409#.Vi_z6xOqqkp\">A new model to deliver public cloud<\/a>. I find this to be quite sad considering they were all very gung ho about pushing OpenStack forward several OSCONs ago. I know many people who made this happen (many ex-MySQL\u2019ers went on to HP to work on OpenStack). I can only feel for them. I guess their important work continues in OpenStack as a whole and all this ends up being part of the HP Helion private cloud.<\/p>\n<p>I think its also worth noting the improvements that Percona Server 5.5 received thanks to HPCloud to make it easier to manage in the cloud:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/management\/utility_user.html\">utility user<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/management\/enforce_engine.html\">enforce_storage_engine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/management\/expanded_program_option_modifiers.html\">expanded program option modifiers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/management\/secure_file_priv_extended.html\">extending secure-file-priv server option<\/a> to prevent LOAD DATA INFILE\/SELECT INTO OUTFILE<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/flexibility\/max_binlog_files.html\">restrict the number of binlog files<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.percona.com\/doc\/percona-server\/5.5\/flexibility\/slowlog_rotation.html\">slow query log rotation &amp; expiration<\/a><\/li>\n<li>and probably a whole bunch of Xtrabackup features not limited to xbcloud existing for backups to Swift<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This pretty much leaves only <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rackspace.com\/en-us\/cloud\/databases\">Rackspace Cloud Databases<\/a> as being a large OpenStack based offering of databases in the public cloud space, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>HPCloud offered 3 Availability Zones (AZs) per region, and had 2 regions \u2013 US-East (Virginia) and US-West. It\u2019s worth remembering that US-West was the only place you could use the Relational DB MySQL service. You also got Percona Server 5.5. You enjoyed 50% off pricing while it was in public beta.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All this is basically over.
