Sahdev Zala a331dfadfe The —template-type is no longer required arg
The translator by default uses tosca as a value to the --template-type arg.
The --template-type arg which used to be a required arg is an optional arg and
needs to be reflected in the doc.

Heat-Translator

Overview

Heat-Translator is an Openstack project and licensed under Apache 2. It is a command line tool which takes non-Heat templates as an input and produces a Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) which can be deployed by Heat. Currently the development and testing is done with an aim to translate OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) templates to HOT. However, the tool is designed to be easily extended to use with any format other than TOSCA.

Architecture

Heat-Translator project takes a non-Heat template (e.g. TOSCA flat YAML template or template embedded in TOSCA Cloud Service Archive (CSAR) format) as an input, calls an appropriate Parser (e.g. TOSCA Parser) per the type of input template to parse it and create an in-memory graph, maps it to Heat resources and then produces a Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) as an output.

How To Use

Please refer to doc/source/usage.rst

  2. common: It has all the file that can support the execution of parser and generator.
  3. tests: It contains test programs and more importantly several templates which are used for testing.
