I believe our support for nested stacks may meet your requirements for recursive containers? We support nested/composed user-defined templates, and also resource implementation based on nested templates (for example see our LoadBalaner and RDS resource implementations): See the following for further information: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat/NestedStacks https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/templates/WordPress_Composed_Instances.template https://github.com/openstack/heat/blob/master/heat/engine/resources/loadbalancer.py HTH, Steve
