Hi all, I have executed a Heat template in with VM provisioning and software configuration and deployment. The templates that i get it from https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...). And i have executed template for software configuration group "script" . It works fine and completed successfully. Command used to execute template with software configuration and deployment :

           heat --debug --os-no-client-auth --os-username admin --os-password openstack --heat-url http://localhost:8004/v1/98073903698740af87fb57ca9e41eed5  --os-auth-url http://192.168.1.223:5000/v2.0 stack-create mystack -f example-templates/example-config-pristine-image.yaml -e boot-config/fedora_pip_env.yaml

It creates software configuration and deployment successfully Template file : https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/example-templates/example-config-pristine-image.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...)

Environment file : https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/boot-config/fedora_pip_env.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...)

In this environment file they mapped "Heat::InstallConfigAgent": templates/install_config_agent_fedora_pip.yaml Please look at this https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/boot-config/templates/install_config_agent_fedora_pip.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...) file . This contains boot config agents and hooks configuration. For group script its working fine. Because in templates/install_config_agent_fedora_pip.yaml they mapped heat-config-script and hook script for "script" group.

Issue : But for executing software configuration for puppet group. I need to know what are the configurations need to be change in environment file. It results in CREATE FAILED due to time out.

For software configuration (group : puppet) , i made some changes before executing template as follows,

Execution command :

                heat --debug --os-no-client-auth --os-username admin --os-password openstack --heat-url http://localhost:8004/v1/98073903698740af87fb57ca9e41eed5  --os-auth-url http://192.168.1.223:5000/v2.0 stack-create nnnnn -f example-templates/example-puppet-template_bak.yaml -e boot-config/fedora_pip_env.yaml

In example-puppet-template_bak.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/example-templates/example-puppet-template.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...)) , I have added boot config resource and mapped to server shown here:

                    **boot_config:
                       type: Heat::InstallConfigAgent**
                   server:
                       type: OS::Nova::Server
                       properties:
                           image: {get_param: image}
                           flavor: {get_param: flavor}
                           key_name: {get_param: key_name}
                           networks:
                                  - network: {get_param: private_net}
                           security_groups:
                                  - {get_resource: the_sg}
                          **user_data_format: SOFTWARE_CONFIG
                          user_data: {get_attr: [boot_config, config]}**

And i made changes in https://github.com/openstack/heat-templates/blob/master/hot/software-config/boot-config/templates/install_config_agent_fedora_pip.yaml (https://github.com/openstack/heat-tem...), Replaced the $hook_script at line 25 with hook-puppet.py
