Using https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat/... as a guide.

Is it possible to use the provider templates when using the HEAT REST API. I need to dynamically create an environment_file.yaml (Similar to wordpress-and-mysql-environment.yaml in the wordpress example).

I can only use the HEAT REST API from a remote server to create my stacks. Is this what the "files" parameter is.
Any examples of how this is used? As it relates to the wordpress example? Thank you!

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, so please let me know if this is off target:

According to the Heat API reference, to create a new stack you POST to /v1/{tenant_id}/stacks. This POST request can include an environment parameter, which "provides a JSON environment for the stack".

This seems almost exactly like what you are asking about in the subject of this question.

The files parameter is for passing in provider templates; it maps filenames to JSON template content.

If you have remote access to the HEAT API, it seems as if you could also install the Heat command-line client (which talks to a remote Heat server using the API), and then create stacks via the heat stack-create command.

The Heat client also provides a good example of how to interact with the remote API.
