I thought somebody already asked in Mistral IRC channel, IMO, Mistral is a
good candidate in this case, TripleO[1] already use Mistral for running its
own tasks. For those who didn't know Mistral well, Mistral is a workflow
engine that can run you designed workflow in a stable, scalable way. For
your use case, the only thing needs to consider is if you need to provide
your customized actions (like what TripleO does). Feel free to jump in
#openstack-mistral if you have more questions.
