[Dmitry Savenkov <dsavenkov@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrey,

Thank you for the email.

One question: As I spoke with our OpenStack experts today, I was never
faced with a notion such as Heat Template (Heat Attack), they only
mentioned FLAVOUR. I am not personally sure heat templates exist in
OpenStack, so will need to follow up on this. For Flavours a certain set of
params can be retrieved.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Kind Regards,
Dmitry.
