Ceilometer and heat
Remember that in Chapter 8, Extending OpenStack – Advanced Networking Features and Deploying Multi-tier Applications, we had promised to continue with heat. Well, at first glance, it might be difficult to find a face of commonality between the metering infrastructure Ceilometer and the cloud application orchestration heat.
Before extending the latter example, we will shine a bright spotlight on understanding how heat is architected. Essentially, heat has a few major components, as follows:
