This would be a good time for people to review my proposed spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/102545/ Not only does it help operators but it also helps developers since all they would need to do in the future is update the model and DDL statements are generated based on comparing the running schema with the model. BTW, it uses Alembic under the hood for most of the heavy lifting.
