Installing and Configuring Heat

Heat is OpenStack's orchestration engine that enables you to deploy cloud applications based on templates that you create. You install Heat on the same node as Keystone.

How to Configure Heat

Before You Begin

You must configure Keystone first as described in the How to Install and Configure Keystone before performing this task.

1. Install the Heat package.

   controller# pkg install heat

2. Run the Heat setup script.

   controller# OS_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE \
   SERVICE_HOST=$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE \
   OS_AUTH_URL=http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:5000/v2.0 \
   OS_USERNAME=admin OS_PASSWORD=secrete OS_TENANT_NAME=demo \
   /usr/demo/openstack/keystone/heat-keystone-setup

3. Configure Heat by either uncommenting or setting the parameters in these configuration files:

   • /etc/heat/heat.conf

     [database]
     connection = mysql://heat:heat@$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE/heat
     
     [keystone_authtoken]
     auth_uri = http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:5000/v2.0
     identity_uri = http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:35357
     admin_tenant_name = tenant
     admin_user = heat
     admin_password = service-password
     

   • /etc/heat/api-paste.ini

     [filter:authtoken]
     auth_uri = http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:5000/v2.0/
     identity_uri = http://$CONTROLLER_ADM_NODE:35357
     admin_tenant_name = tenant
     admin_user = heat
     admin_password = service-password
     

4. Enable the heat service.

   controller# svcadm enable -rs heat-api heat-db heat-engine \
   heat-api-cfn heat-api-cloudwatch
