STCv deployer Heat template

STCv deployer package is a collection of 2 heat templates (also called as HOT files) as defined in the OpenStack HOT specification. For detailed information about the Heat Orchestration Templates, see the OpenStack Template Guide at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/heat/template_guide/ This package consists of following files:

1. 2_stcv_and_1_labserver_heat_template.yaml (Template for the deployment of 2 STCv instances along with 1 labserver)
2. 2_stcv_and_1_labserver_heat_params.yaml (Configurable parameters to be passed during the deployment of template)

The template can be used for the deployment of 2 STCv instances and 1 lab server instance On Openstack or other cloud platform (should support HEAT templates). The floating IPs will be assigned to the created instances and can be used to access these instances from outside. The image,flavor,test network details etc. to be used for STCv and labserver can be configured in "2_stcv_and_1_labserver_heat_params.yaml" file.
