[Boto](http://github.com/boto/boto) is a python AWS client library.
Using boto with heat
The boto cloudformation API can be used to interface with the heat cloudformation compatible orchestration API (heat-api-cfn)
You use the boto API directly, or make use of the heat-boto tool, which supports identical usage to the existing heat cli tool (note the output format is a bit different..)
Install boto
yum install python-boto
Boto configuration file(s)
You need a /etc/boto.cfg file (or per-user ~/.boto), which looks something like this (note the AWS keys are as returned from keystone ec2-credentials-list):
[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = <key>
aws_secret_access_key = <secret_key>
[Boto]
debug = 0
cfn_region_name = heat
cfn_region_endpoint = 127.0.0.1
cloudwatch_region_name = heat
cloudwatch_region_endpoint = 127.0.0.1
# Set the client retries to 1, or errors connecting to heat repeat
# which is not useful when debugging API issues
num_retries = 1
Note that heat installs a template boto.cfg, see heat/etc/boto.cfg - the Credentials section must be uncommented and populated with your keystone-ec2 login details, or copy the file to ~/.boto and chmod to keep your credentials private for non-development deployment.
