We could add any SoftwareDeployment resource(s) to the templates that
trigger either scripts or puppet.

Using a liberty overcloud-full image, I enabled the mitaka repos and
tried to install aodh:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/497395/

It looks like it will cleanly pull in just aodh packages, and there
aren't any transitive dependencies thatt require updating any other
OpenStack services.

That means that we ought to be able to take a liberty cloud and update
it to use aodh from mitaka. That could be step 1 of the upgrade. The
operator could pause there for as long as they wanted, and then
continue on with the rest of the upgrade of the other services to
Mitaka. It may even be possible to implement them as separate stack
updates.

Does that sound like it could work? Would we have to update some parts
of Ceilometer as well, or does Liberty Ceilometer and Mitaka Aodh work
together nicely?
