My impression was that some of these features required features to be developed in other
OpenStack services - if so, should we call those out so that we can see if they'll be
available in the icehouse-2 timeframe?

Are we still providing the Heat template?  If so, are there image requirements that we
need to take into account?

> - Design deployment (number of nodes per role)

We're only allowing a single deployment, right?

> - Deploy (Heat + Nova)

What parameters are we passing in for deploy?  Is it limited to the # of nodes/role, or
are we also passing in the image?

Do we also need the following?

* unregister a node in Ironic
* update a deployment (add or destroy instances)
* destroy a deployment
* view information about management node (instance?)
* list nodes/instances by role
* view deployment configuration
* view status of deployment as it's being deployed
