HEAT
====

This is an OpenStack style project that provides a REST API to orchestrate
multiple cloud applications implementing well-known standards such as AWS
CloudFormation and TOSCA.

Currently the developers are focusing on AWS CloudFormations but are watching
the development of the TOSCA specification.

Why heat? It makes the clouds rise and keeps them there.
