 ==Using Heat Templates==
-{{To Do| finish writing up these sections and add more setup files and test/streamline setup files.}}
+As with CloudInit the creation of Heat Orchestration Template (HOT) files is not covered here, instead see the official [http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/hot_guide.html documentation]. Heat allows automation of operations performed in Horizon as well as the ability to pass information into the embeded CloudInit files, such as an IP of another server. It also allows one to add wait conditions which signal to OpenStack when the creation of the stack is complete. These wait conditions can be triggered from within the running VMs once various setup steps have been completed. Finally Heat allows output to be created from the resulting stack, such as indicating the URL for a particular service created by the stack.
+To use a HOT file:
+* Select ''Project''->''Ochestration''->''Stacks''
