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.
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.

Where did the comment section go?
