Aqsa b09cc17ee5 Documentation to use sub-templates in HOT packages
The document provides the description of adding sub-templates in Murano
HOT packages. It is possible to do a template composition by referencing
some existing template by putting it file name into a "type" attribute
of resource definition as if it was some real resource. To enable this
use case sub-templates need to be placed in Resources/HotFiles.

Hot packages with nested Heat templates
---------------------------------------
In Murano HOT packages it is possible to allow Heat nested templates to be
saved and deployed as part of a Murano Heat applications. Such templates
should be placed in package under /Resources/HotFiles. Adding additional
templates to a package is optional. When a Heat generated package is being
deployed, if there are any Heat nested templates located in the package under
/Resources/HotFiles, they are sent to Heat together with the main template
and params during stack creation.
These nested templates can be referenced by putting the template name into the
``type`` attribute of resource definition, in the main template. This
mechanism then compose one logical stack with these multiple templates. The
following examples illustrate how you can use a custom template to define new
types of resources. These examples use a custom template stored in a
``sub_template.yaml`` file
.. code-block:: yaml
heat_template_version: 2015-04-30
parameters:
key_name:
type: string
description: Name of a KeyPair
resources:
server:
type: OS::Nova::Server
properties:
key_name: {get_param: key_name}
flavor: m1.small
image: ubuntu-trusty
Use the template filename as type
---------------------------------
The following main template defines the ``sub_template.yaml`` file as value for
the type property of a resource
.. code-block:: yaml
heat_template_version: 2015-04-30
resources:
my_server:
type: sub_template.yaml
properties:
key_name: my_key
.. note::
This feature is supported Liberty onwards.
