Vladimir,

>> 1) Nailgun DB

Just a small note, we should not provide access to the database, this
approach
has serious issues, what we can do is to provide this information for
example
via REST API.

What you are saying is already implemented in any deployment tool for
example
lets take a look at Ansible [1].

What you can do there is to create a task which stores the result of
executed
shell command in some variable.
And you can reuse it in any other task. I think we should use this approach.
