In this chapter, we discussed the detailed functionality provided by the Orchestration component for OpenStack Heat. We explained the basic architecture that builds the Heat orchestration service. We also explained the command-line parameters and optional arguments required by the Heat CLI component. In the later sections of this module, we discussed the message flow for Heat and the role played by each component in the flow.
In the next chapter, we will create and delete a stack and see the various methods to manage stacks.
