Hi all,

I am new to OpenStack Heat and would like to use some sort of orchestration mechanism to spin up a MySQL stack and a fronted UI server in a scalable/easily configurable manner. I found about Heat templates and really interested to know how to achieve that using Heat Templates.

So far I was able to create 2 instances with my desired images, flavor and network but how can I get those 2 instances to talk to each other and how can I scale up both of them at the same time.

This is for a research project at my University and any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Hey,

A HOT template has a section called user_data where you can write your own script such as MySQL configuration, front-end UI framework config. This section also allows you to input any variables such as MySQL IP, Frontend IP which are generated dynamically.

For Scaling stuff, you can create Autoscaling groups of Heat.

The heat templates at https://github.com/shashank0791/diablo-project/tree/master/heat-templates repo will help you gain more understanding and is also an exact replica of the architecture that you want along with the autoscaling group.

You could also check out the Web Applications reference architecture document which has example heat templates. https://developer.openstack.org/

I would look at the example templates. For example, there is a CloudFormation template that does pretty much exactly what you want.

You're probably better off converting that to HOT format, native OpenStack resources and software deployments, but there's plenty of examples in there that should be able to help with that too.
