Subject: Re: [tosca] Re: Differentiating TOSCA from HEAT
In my templates, I provide exactly this functionality, but rather than using âtemplatingâ in my templates, I use substitution mapping instead. This aligns philosophically better with âintent-based orchestrationâ anyway. At the highest level of abstraction, a user-provided input will specify if âload balancingâ is required or not (similar to Peterâs earlier example where someone would specify if âfirewallingâ is required or not). The orchestrator will then substitute either a template that includes a load balancer, or a template that includes a web frontend.

By the way, this is exactly what ETSI NFV does as well: they provide variability in VNFs by using substitution mapping to deploy different deployment flavors.
