If you use Heat to manage your resources you already have this. Just
deploy your stack again.

There is work landing now which will allow Heat to adopt existing
resources. So that would be a good format to use as the serialization
of all the things in your cloud. Then you just need a tool that lists
out everything and saves in the format. That would be quite useful to
help drive Heat adoption I think. :)
