wrt interaction with CMDB, we have investigating around some ideas tha
we have gathered at https://github.com/uggla/alexandria/wiki

Some code has been written to try to model some of these aspects, but
having more contributors and patches to enhance that integration would
be great ! Similarly available at https://github.com/uggla/alexandria

We had planned to talk about these ideas at the previous OpenStack
summit but didn't get enough votes it seems. So now aiming at preenting
to the next one ;-)

HTH,
Bruno.
