Our current use case is providing engineers with a self service portal for spinning up VMs on which they can do development work. So, the workflow is user -> UI -> nova API. But when a VM is spun up, we still want to integrate with existing systems such as Active Directory (via PBIS/Likewise). Long term, we have grander plans for making OpenStack the provisioning system for our integration and production environments and we'll probably need to build more ellaborate smarts into it.
