This is a documentation issue - "floating_network" was only added in Juno
Heat, so you'll have to use "floating_network_id" on Icehouse.

I'll look at posting a patch which clarifies that in our documentation,
thanks for pointing it out.

The main difference between these properties is that floating_network can
accept a name or ID, and we'll resolve the ID lookup, whereas if you're
using Icehouse you'll always have to pass the network UUID to
floating_network_id (this should just work if you're referring to another
resource inside a template rather than passing in a parameter).
