Karanbir,

Would you be opposed to adding the heat-cfntools RPM in the pre-built 
CentOS image that is OpenStack specific?  We do this for Fedora 20+ as 
well as RHEL 6.5.  The RPM is very small and has only one dependency 
IIRC and has no init scripts or any default startup that would result in 
breakage of the software.

Also, I'm unclear if your planning to add cloud-init to the image, but I 
would highly recommend cloud-init for your default images and this is 
mandatory to have Heat + CentOS + OpenStack integration.

The heat_cfntools package is necessary for using Heat with Openstack 
guest images.

If your not opposed, I've copied Jeff Peeler (Heat Core developer) to 
sort out the implementation details from an engineering perspective.
