Open Stack

Heat integration already has a topic proposed at the design summit I believe, but I'd love to see a proposal for doing the "diagram-based template designer" as well, if y'all are up for it. No harm in talking about it and working through the exercise to see if it's something we can/want to make happen.

All the best,

Subject: [openstack-dev] [horizon][heat] Horizon Heat integration

I'm gearing up to continue the work of Dan Radez to build a Heat UI in Horizon.

For those who haven't seen what Dan has done, take a look at his blog post.
http://www.jaddog.org/2013/03/18/thermal-update/

For a start I'd like to focus on merging the basic functionality of launching/deleting stacks, and viewing a running stack's state, including its resources and events.

I'll most likely submit something for review that is incomplete and disabled by default, just so I can discover what the expectations are for getting something merged.

Looking to future development, Dan's demo included the start of a diagram based template designer which is based on jsPlumb ( http://jsplumbtoolkit.com/). A fully implemented designer would be quite an ambitious project, so I'm thinking of how something could be done within a more manageable scope. As a first step I'm hoping to implement a read-only diagram of a running stacks resources, including their state and dependencies.

I'll aim to be at the next Horizon IRC meeting to discuss.

cheers
