Trove is moving fast in terms of the features being added in the various releases. In this section, we will take a look at the features of three releases: the current release and the past two.
The Juno release saw a lot of features being added to the Trove system. Here is a non-exhaustive list:
Support for Neutron: Now we can use both Nova-network and Neutron for networking purposes.
Replication: MySQL master/slave replication was added. The API also allowed us to detach a slave for it to be promoted.

The functionality of using a default configuration group for a datastore version was added. This allows us to build the datastore version with a base configuration of your company standards.
Basic error checking was added to configuration groups.
