Hi folks,

A few developers from HA community have been hard at work on a project
called heat which provides native HA for OpenStack virtual machines.
Heat provides a template based system with API matching AWS
CloudFormation semantics specifically for OpenStack.

In v5, instance heatlhchecking has been added.  To get started on Fedora
16+ check out the getting started guide:

or on Ubuntu Precise check out the devstack guide:
