Chapter 2. Integration with AWS CloudFormation and OpenStack Heat

Red Hat CloudForms' integration with AWS CloudFormation and OpenStack Heat provides an ability to:

  • Inventory all AWS CloudFormation and OpenStack Heat stacks and elements into CFME’s VMDB.
  • Model the relationships of instances to their stacks, inclusive of the UI. Example, selecting an instance within a region that is within a stack, the UI shows this on the standard instance view.
  • Model the stack and its elements in the UI.
Note

When importing a template into Red Hat CloudForms, the selected elements are converted according to their type. For example, lists convert to list boxes, and single items convert to text boxes.
