Heat CloudFormation Tools
=========================
There are several bootstrap methods for cloudformations:
1. Create image with application ready to go
2. Use cloud-init to run a startup script passed as userdata to the nova
server create
3. Use the CloudFormation instance helper scripts
This package contains files required for choice #3.

installs packages, and starts services
