this is actually what the heat > mistral triggering mechansim implements

Heat provides the extra_vars and triggers the native ceph-ansible
playbook at the right time during the deployment

I believe Steven's goal in [1] is to prepare the data to build the
ansible inventory group vars from the role data which seems to me to go
in the same direction that James is proposing of driving the deployment
steps without the Heat software deployments

If from a service template we could point to a playbook, instead of
describing one in Heat, this might replace the Heat > Mistral calling too

Yet, there is another question we probably want to discuss: is this just
so we use ansible to drive the deployment steps or do we want ansible to
replace puppet for the overcloud configuration?
