I like the swift/HTTP proposal.

In kayobe we've considered how to customise the deployment process, with
hook points [1] looking like the right approach.

Another possibility when deploy steps [2] land could be to break up the
ansible deployment into multiple steps, and allow each step to be
overridden.
