So, we have 2 places for configuration management - database and config file

Config file for tunning all datasource type behavior during installation
and database for all changeable configurations during usage and
administration of Trove installation.

Database usecases:
- update/custom image
- update/custom packages
- activating/deactivating datastore_type

Config file usecases:
- security group policy
- provisioning mechanism
- guest configuration parameters per database engine
- provisioning  parameters, templates
- manager class
...

In case if i need to register one more MySQL installation with following
customization:
- custom heat template
- custom packages and additional monitoring tool package
- open specific port for working with my monitoring tool on instance

According to current concept should i add one more section in addition to
existing mysql like below?

[monitored_mysql]
mount_point=/var/lib/mysql

#8080 is port of my monitoring tool
trove_security_group_rule_ports = 3306, 8080
heat_template=/etc/trove/heat_templates/monitored_mysql.yaml
...

and put additional packages to database configuration?
