Launching a Complex Appliance

This tutorial demonstrates how to launch a complex appliance from a pre-defined Heat Orchestration Template. Complex appliance stacks contain multiple nodes and other network resources that enable experiments in security and distributed or parallel computing. Activities in this tutorial include identifying complex appliance templates on Chameleon Cloud, allocating Infiniband resources and launching a simple MPI cluster from a pre-defined complex appliance template.
