This change renames the first doc link section Getting Started to Using Heat and makes the content relevant to end users of Heat. End users author templates, create stacks, and use the heat CLI. They are not necessarily interested in installing heat from packages or devstack. This change breaks out the basic create-stack content into its own page and links to that from the first Using Heat contents list. The rest of the getting started content is moved to the Developers section for now, pending later changes aimed at developers and operators. Change-Id: I79988e08864c5a87ebc4f8f5a39102d50b26f748
Heat
Heat is a service to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications using templates, through both an OpenStack-native REST API and a CloudFormation-compatible Query API.
Why heat? It makes the clouds rise and keeps them there.
