Hi,

as for execution of arbitrary code across the OpenStack cluster - I was
thinking of mcollective + fact filters:

1) we need to start using mcollective facts [0] [2] - we don't
use/configure this currently
2) use mcollective execute_shell_command agent (or any other agent) with
fact filter [1]

So, for example, if we have mcollective fact called "node_roles":
node_roles: "compute ceph-osd"

Then we can execute shell cmd on all compute nodes like this:

mco rpc execute_shell_command execute cmd="/some_script.sh" -F
"node_role=/compute/"

Of course, we can use more complicated filters to run commands more
precisely.
