The heat developers are happy to announce the release of new version of
Heat.
Heat is a project designed for OpenStack that implements AWS
CloudFormation. CloudFormation is a programmable interface and
tempalting system for orchestrating multiple cloud applications.
Try it out on Fedora 17:
https://github.com/heat-api/heat/blob/master/docs/GettingStarted.rst#readme
Or Ubuntu 12.04:

What's new in version 5:
* Load balancing and Autoscaling
Heat can now use CloudWatch to monitor instances and cause stacks to
scale up and down.
* Per-tenant stacks
Stacks are now accessed per-tenant rather than per-user. If two users
belong to the same tenant, they can see and modify the same stacks.
* Update stack
A running stack can now be updated by sending a new template via the
`UpdateStack` API call.
* Remote Database Storage
Heat now supports RDS::DBInstance which is: a preconfigured MySQL
instance that other resources can use. Support for multiple availability
zones and database snapshots is not yet implemented.
* Improved API compatibility
Heat API is now fully aligned with AWS CloudFormation API spec. Heat
developers have produced a port of the heat CLI tool which uses the Boto
AWS client library.

* Integration tests
Heat now has scripts for running integration tests using Beaker:

* Usability improvements for heat-jeos
The command line tool for generating OS images is now more flexible
and easier to use.
Note that single-instance EBS templates are not functional at the
moment:
