to be used with jinja2.

This patch updates the references to this file.

Deploying with Heat Templates
=============================
It is possible to use the ``--templates`` and ``--environment-file``
options to override specific templates or even deploy using a separate
set of templates entirely.
Deploying an Overcloud using the default templates
--------------------------------------------------
The ``--templates`` option without an argument enables deploying using
the packaged Heat templates::
openstack overcloud deploy --templates
.. note::
The default location for the templates is
`/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates`.
Overriding specific templates with local versions
-------------------------------------------------
You may use heat environment files (via the ``--environment-file`` or ``-e``
option), combined with the ``--templates`` option to override specific
templates, e.g to test a bugfix outside of the location of the packaged
templates.
The mapping between heat resource types and the underlying templates can be
found in
`/usr/share/\
openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/overcloud-resource-registry-puppet.j2.yaml`
Here is an example of copying a specific resource template and overriding
so the deployment uses the local version::
mkdir local_templates
cp /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/puppet/controller-puppet.yaml local_templates
cat > override_templates.yaml << EOF
resource_registry:
OS::TripleO::Controller: local_templates/controller-puppet.yaml
EOF
openstack overcloud deploy --templates --environment-file override_templates.yaml
.. note::
The ``--environment-file``/``-e`` option may be specified multiple times,
if duplicate keys are specified in the environment files, the last one
takes precedence.
.. note::
You must also pass the environment files (again using the ``-e`` or
``--environment-file`` option) whenever you make subsequent changes to the
overcloud, such as :doc:`../post_deployment/scale_roles`,
:doc:`../post_deployment/delete_nodes` or
:doc:`../post_deployment/package_update`.
.. _custom-template-location:
Using a custom location for all templates
-----------------------------------------
You may specify a path to the ``--templates`` option, such that the packaged
tree may be copied to another location, which is useful e.g for developer usage
where you wish to check the templates into a revision control system.
.. note::
Use caution when using this approach as you will need to rebase any local
changes on updates to the openstack-tripleo-heat-templates package, and
care will be needed to avoid modifying anything in the tree which the CLI
tools rely on (such as top-level parameters). In many cases using the
:doc:`ExtraConfig <extra_config>` interfaces or specific template overrides
as outlined above may be preferable.
Here is an example of copying the entire tripleo-heat-templates tree to a
local directory and launching a deployment using the new location::
cp -r /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates /home/stack/
openstack overcloud deploy --templates /home/stack/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates
