Heat Formula
============

Heat is the main project in the OpenStack Orchestration program. It implements
an orchestration engine to launch multiple composite cloud applications based
on templates in the form of text files that can be treated like code. A native
Heat template format is evolving, but Heat also endeavours to provide
compatibility with the AWS CloudFormation template format, so that many
existing CloudFormation templates can be launched on OpenStack. Heat provides
both an OpenStack-native ReST API and a CloudFormation-compatible Query API.

Sample Pillars
==============

Single Heat services on the controller node

    heat:
      server:
        enabled: true
        version: icehouse

            protocol: http
          waitcondition:
            address: 10.0.106.10
            port: 8000
