Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 21:17:34 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/hot-select.

Description:

In cfn we have "Fn::Select", but it is very messy in retrieving data from nested json.
Like server addresses. We need something like jsonpath (http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/).
