Verify the Orchestration service installation

To verify that the Orchestration service is installed and configured correctly, make sure that your credentials are set up correctly in the demo-openrc.sh file. Source the file, as follows:

$ source demo-openrc.sh

The Orchestration Module uses templates to describe stacks. To learn about the template languages, see the Template Guide in the Heat developer documentation.

Create a test template in the test-stack.yml file with the following content:

heat_template_version: 2013-05-23

description: Test Template

parameters:
  ImageID:
    type: string
    description: Image use to boot a server
  NetID:
    type: string
    description: Network ID for the server

resources:
  server1:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      name: "Test server"
      image: { get_param: ImageID }
      flavor: "m1.tiny"
      networks:
      - network: { get_param: NetID }

outputs:
  server1_private_ip:
    description: IP address of the server in the private network
    value: { get_attr: [ server1, first_address ] }

Use the heat stack-create command to create a stack from this template:

$ NET_ID=$(nova net-list | awk '/ demo-net / { print $2 }')
$ heat stack-create -f test-stack.yml \
  -P "ImageID=cirros-0.3.2-x86_64;NetID=$NET_ID" testStack
+--------------------------------------+------------+--------------------+----------------------+
| id                                   | stack_name | stack_status       | creation_time        |

+--------------------------------------+------------+--------------------+----------------------+

Verify that the stack was created successfully with the heat stack-list command:

$ heat stack-list
+--------------------------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------------+
| id                                   | stack_name | stack_status    | creation_time        |
