Welcome to the Heat documentation!
|
|
==================================
|
|
Heat is a service to orchestrate composite cloud applications
|
|
using a declarative template format through an OpenStack-native REST API.
|
|
|
|
Heat's purpose and vision
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
* Heat provides a template based orchestration for describing a cloud
|
|
application by executing appropriate :term:`OpenStack` API calls to generate
|
|
running cloud applications.
|
|
* A Heat template describes the infrastructure for a cloud application in text
|
|
files which are readable and writable by humans, and can be managed by
|
|
version control tools.
|
|
* Templates specify the relationships between resources (e.g. this
|
|
volume is connected to this server). This enables Heat to call out to the
|
|
OpenStack APIs to create all of your infrastructure in the correct order to
|
|
completely launch your application.
|
|
* The software integrates other components of OpenStack. The templates allow
|
|
creation of most OpenStack resource types (such as instances, floating ips,
|
|
volumes, security groups, users, etc), as well as some more advanced
|
|
functionality such as instance high availability, instance autoscaling, and
|
|
nested stacks.
|
|
* Heat primarily manages infrastructure, but the templates
|
|
integrate well with software configuration management tools such as Puppet
|
|
and Ansible.
|
|
* Operators can customise the capabilities of Heat by installing plugins.
|
|
|
|
This documentation offers information aimed at end-users, operators and
|
|
developers of Heat.
