I am not an expert in Heat but the way I understood the Heat project is that it is an orchestration layer that instantiate a composite application based on a template definition. The template may identify the vms, networks and storage resources needed to instantiate the composite application.

Dear All, This is a great discussion. If I understand this correctly, this is a proposal for data protection as a whole for the OpenStack cloud, however this is not yet an official incubation request. We are having a good discussion on how we can better serve the adoption of OpenStack.

Hi Murali, Thanks for answering. I think the issues you raised indeed make sense, and important ones. We need to provide backup both for: 1. Volumes 2. VM instances (VM image, VM metadata, and attached volumes) While the Cinder-backup handles (1), and is a very mature service, it does not

Hi Murali, I think the idea to provide enhanced data protection in OpenStack is a great idea, and I have been thinking about backup in OpenStack for a while now. I just not sure a new project is the only way to do. (as disclosure, I contributed code to enable IBM TSM as a Cinder backup driver)
