4 Pinakastra™ Cloud Console - Heat Orchestration

Created by Anas AV, Modified on Mon, 29 Apr at 5:52 AM by Anas AV

OpenStack Heat is an orchestration service that allows users to describe and automate the deployment of infrastructure resources within OpenStack clouds through templates. These templates, written in YAML format, define the desired configuration of resources such as virtual machines, networks, storage, and security groups, enabling users to create complex cloud applications in a declarative manner.

Heat simplifies the management of cloud resources by abstracting the underlying complexity of infrastructure provisioning and configuration, promoting scalability, efficiency, and repeatability in cloud deployments.
