Heat
Heat provides a REST API to orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications implementing the AWS CloudFormation API.
Why heat? It makes the clouds rise!
Architecture
The developers are focused on creating an OpenStack style project using OpenStack design tenants implemented in Python. We have started with full integration with Keystone. We have three components.
An overview of the architecture is available. As the developers have only started development in March 2012, the architecture is evolving rapidly.
heat
The heat tool is a CLI which communicates with the heat-api to execute AWS CloudFormation APIs. End developers could also use the heat REST API directly.
heat-api
The heat-api component provides a REST API that processes API requests by sending them to the heat-engine.
heat-engine
The heat engine connects to the heat-api over RPC to process API operations. The heat engine's main responsibility is to orchestrate the launching of templates and provide events back to the API consumer.
The templates integrate well with Puppet and Chef
