A few of us have been looking for a way to perform software updates to

Here's a trivial example of what this deployment might look like:

   update_config:
     type: OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig
     properties:
       config: {get_file: do_sw_update.sh}
       inputs:
         - name: update_after_time
           description: Timestamp of the most recent update request

   update_deployment:
     type: OS::Heat::SoftwareDeployment
     properties:
       actions:
         - UPDATE
       config: {get_resource: update_config}
       server: {get_resource: my_server}
       input_values:
         update_after_time: {get_param: update_timestamp}

[...]

   heat stack-update my_overcloud -f $TMPL -P "update_timestamp=$(date)"

leaving the ResourceGroup/AutoScalingGroup to more knowledgeable people
on a side and trying instead to translate the templating approach into
user features, if I read it correctly this would also make it possible to:

1. perform a config update without a software update as long as the
update_timestamp param remains unchanged

2. perform software updates of each ResourceGroup independently from the
others by using as many update_timestamp params

3. use different update.sh scripts per ResourceGroup

are the above correct?

Yes, right on for all 3.

My single minor concern is about the update script itself which, if not
left for editing to the user but bundled instead with t-h-t , should be
clever enough to cope with different distros and distro versions because
we can't know that from the template ... but this can be achieved by
abstracting it on top of Puppet itself it seems (or whichever other
config management tool is deployed)

I picture it as a distro-specific thing that we might configure in the Heat environment (maybe using get_file as in the example above). Alternatively, I guess we could try to write a multi-platform script, but I'm not sure _any_ of the distros would actually thank us ;)
