Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 21:30:15 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/preview-stack.

Description:

We need a way for users of heat to preview what type and how many resources will be launched by a given template.  This will aid 1) template authors as a check for their templates and 2) heat users using available templates that they did not author
