I think Heat is the wrong tool to directly orchestrate external services. Have you tried Mistral? It is a workflow service or task orchestration service. Some examples are available in the mistral-extra repository. E.g. https://github.com/openstack/mistral-extra/tree/master/examples/v2/services_registration demonstrates how to create a new instance and how to register this instance at an external monitoring service (zabbix) and at an external firewall service (vyatta). Mistral is very powerful and you can do a lot of cool things with it. Mistral resources are available for Heat (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/openstack.html#OS::Mistral::Workflow), this way it is possible to orchestrate external services with Heat by using Mistral resources.
