There are dependency chains so that services will be restarted after configuration changes are made. Since many of our customers don't allow their baremetal  nodes Internet access, we've added the packages to our APT repo to avoid the version issues with using either stock or public packages.

The primary orchestration is in grizzly-manifests. You can see HOWTOs for different deployment scenarios here: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/OpenStack:Ceph-COI-Installation.

It does and it's great that all this is documented :-) Although there are a few modules around, re-using ceph-deploy seems to be the preferred method. I wonder what Alfredo would suggest. From a previous discussion we had I think he will suggest to use ceph-disk directly + cli / rest call instead. Looking at 

https://github.com/ceph/ceph-deploy/blob/master/ceph_deploy/new.py
https://github.com/ceph/ceph-deploy/blob/master/ceph_deploy/mon.py
etc.

the layer provided by ceph-deploy is indeed thin. But is it something that needs to be duplicated in a puppet module ?

Cheers
