Hi! I see Zane has responded with answers to most of your questions, so I won't duplicate that info here, but I can add a couple of links with some related information you may find useful if you need more detail: > > 1.

Related to #1, going forward, is it recommended to move off cfn-tools and > on to cloud-init? heat-cfntools remains important for those wanting compatibility with AWS templates. If you care less about portability with AWS, and more about close integration with OpenStack, you're better using HOT templates and one of: - cloud-init directly by using an OS::Nova::Server with user_data_format=RAW - cloud-init via cloud-config encapsulated in a OS::Heat::CloudConfig resource - SoftwareConfig/SoftwareDeployment resources (which can integrate with whatever CM tool you want) All of the above, including the heat-cfntools approach use cloud-init, in some cases just to bootstrap another agent. There are examples in the heat-templates repo, e.g: https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/example-templates Steve _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
