I prefer to open a new shell and do:

heat resource-list -n5 overcloud | grep IN_PROGRESS.

Basically the same as the suggestion already made by Sasha.

You can then see each stage of the deployment happen, including nested
resources.

Alternatively for less detail, just do:

heat resource-list overcloud | grep IN_PROGRESS

Or, for more detail, you can look at the events:

heat event-list -n5 overcloud  (note, this is fairly inefficient at
present so takes a while to run).

It'd be good if we built something into the CLI which could automatically
show progress like this, I believe this is something that's already been
discussed and may even be in progress.
