The developer mailing list is not for usage questions. Please ask this on ask.openstack.org - I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in the answer and we want it searchable for them in future. Feel free to ping me with a link when you've posted it. cheers, Zane.

[openstack-dev] [Heat] Heat Resource Plugin for third party storage
Hello, We come across this: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/pluginguide.html Looks like it solves three of the purposes listed below: 1. Define a custom resource type with properties and attributes 2. Register the resource to the Hear orchestrator 3. Write a driver/plugin (most likely the Life Cycle methods) which can create/manage the resources when encounter from the Heat orchestration engine. Am I right? Now the question is: in one place it is mentioned as: " It defines methods corresponding to the life cycle as well as the basic hooks for plug-ins to handle the work of communicating with specific down-stream services " Can this down-stream service be *anything* (say a third-party storage array)? Or it has to be a OpenStack service only? Thanks in advance, Pradip ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
