OpenStack Heat

Would the VMs created by Heat download packages from internet?

Asked by Kylin CG

I am trying Heat on Grizzly. Currently the stack can be created successfully. However, the services (mysql, wordpress...) did not exist. I checked the template files, and found that the related packages would be downloaded. My question, would all these packages be downloaded from internet?

Yes, your packages will be downloaded and installed using the package manager of your OS (apt or yum)

Also note there are some details in the wiki re local mirroring of Fedora Yum repos, which can be used if you want to avoid the instances downloading from the internet repos every time you launch a stack:
