Native in-instance tools to replace cfntools
We need to provide a collection of tools to replace functionality currently provided by heat-cfntools.
These tools will need to interact with heat via the native REST API. An alternative authentication mechanism to the current AWS signed messages will be required.
cfn-push-stats is considered out of scope for this blueprint, as equivalent functionality can be provided by ceilometer's tools.
Functionality for the new tools will include the following:
1. fetch metadata for this instance (cfn-init, cfn-hup)
2. fetch metadata for another resource (cfn-get-metadata)
3. post new metadata for another resource (cfn-signal)
For 1. there will end up being a number of tools which act on the fetched metadata. These tools are beyond the scope of this blueprint, and will possibly include:
- legacy support for AWS::CloudForma
- os-config-
- puppet/chef invocation
- a new native heat instance provisioning tool

I have split this up into three blueprints. I do not have any interest in the bootstrap-config blueprint as TripleO uses custom images exclusively. I may pick up native-

(shardy) Who's working on this atm? stevebaker/SpamapS please can you set the assignee as appropriate, thanks :)
(stevebaker) This is a meta-blueprint now, so it won't have an assignee and it can be marked implemented when its dependencies are implemented.
(stevebaker) I'm obsoleting this, hot-software-config provides an alternative approach.
