Summary
Heat is an orchestration Openstack components help you to mange complex service deployment and horizontal scaling. Unlike the other OpenStack competent it has relative simple OpenStack API, but relative verbose language(HOT). Heat also provides basic Amazon Could Formation compatibility.
User stories
We have multi-tier enterprise web application "stack" and our internal resource are usually not enough to provide low latency services in the rush hours. We would like to ensure our "scaling out to the cloud" solution is working in a reliable way and we are considering moving our complete application stack "into the cloud".
Assumptions
Ensure complex application stacks successfully deploy-able into an OpenStack environment.
Design
Gate time tests:
- Full API coverage including the negative tests.
- Basic API access CLI coverage as with the other CLI client
- scenario: Build a stack with networking elements.
Most likely periodic tests:
- Periodically built heat cloudwatch compatible images, they should be published for example on the static.openstack.org.
The heat project contains special reporting components which must be part of the could image. Application deployment heat-cfntools Heat templates Includes oz image build templates diskimage-builder elements
- CloudWatch / ceilometer aided HA and auto scaling tests.
Additional Notes
Heat has a horizon plugin called 'thermal': https://github.com/steveb/heat-horizon
Unresolved issues
- What needs to be a periodic tests and what fits into the gate check/verify time.
