<para>Heat is a service used to orchestrate multiple composite
cloud applications using the AWS CloudFormation template
format, through both an OpenStack-native ReST API and a
CloudFormation-compatible Query API.</para>
<para>The purpose of Heat is to provide a template based
orchestration for describing a cloud application by executing
appropriate OpenStack API calls to generate running cloud
applications, integrate other core components of OpenStack
into a one-file template system. The templates allow creation
of most OpenStack resource types such as instances, floating
ips, volumes, security groups, users, etc.</para>
