Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project.

Blueprint stack-adopt will allow a stack to be created without creating any resources. Instead the state of some existing resources will be passed in to the adopt action. Partnered with blueprint abandon-stack this will allow stacks to be moved from one heat instance to another.
Possible use cases for abandon/adopt are: * Moving a stack from a private heat orchestrating on a public cloud to the public heat * Rebalancing a sharded heat * Moving stacks off a heat that needs an offline upgrade
It also may be possible to hand-craft the resource state so that an adopt can happen on resources which were not previously created with heat.
