General Guidelines for Heat
----------------------------

This section contains general Heat Orchestration Template guidelines
and requirements.

Heat Template Compliance
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Heat Orchestration Template requirements with RFC 2119
keywords **MUST** and **MUST NOT** can be validated against a set of Heat
Templates via the VNF Validation Program (VVP).

**NOTE**: Not all requirements are currently testable via VVP.

The VVP *validation scripts* project contains python validation
scripts that will parse Heat Orchestration Templates in a given directory
to ensure that they comply with ONAP Heat Orchestration Template requirements.

For instructions on how to use the VVP validation scripts,
please see the validation scripts
`README <https://github.com/onap/vvp-validation-scripts>`__


YAML Format
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. req::
    :id: R-95303
    :target: VNF
    :keyword: MUST

    A VNF's Heat Orchestration Template **MUST** be defined using valid YAML.

YAML (YAML Ain't
Markup Language) is a human friendly data serialization standard for all
programming languages. See http://www.yaml.org/.
