<title>Launch and manage stacks</title>
<para>OpenStack Orchestration is a service that you can use to
orchestrate multiple composite cloud applications. This
service supports use of both the Amazon Web Services (AWS)
CloudFormation template format through both a Query API that
is compatible with CloudFormation and the native OpenStack
<glossterm>Heat Orchestration Template (HOT)</glossterm>
format through a REST API.</para>
<para>These flexible template languages enable application
developers to describe and automate the deployment of
infrastructure, services, and applications. The templates
enable creation of most OpenStack resource types, such as
instances, floating IP addresses, volumes, security groups,
and users. The resources, once created, are referred to as
stacks.</para>
<para>The template languages are described in
