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