What are the pros and cons of creating server via nova and heat stack?

When should we use nova and when we should use heat?

Use Heat to create applications that consist of several resources like instances, networks, volumes, software configurations etc., in particular if you want to repeat the launch of these applications or parameterize the launch.

In fact, the paragraph Heat's purpose and vision describes it much better than I can.

Use Nova directly if you just want to launch a single instance or a group of instances.

By the way, the links nova and heat stack in your question point to the same URL.
