Additional provisioning formats beyond shell scripts

[afbjorklund]

Description

Currently we are using shell scripts, for the standard provisioning

It could also be useful to support other means, such as Ansible?

provision:
- mode: ansible
  playbook: playbook.yaml

It would create an inventory, and then call ansible-playbook

• Host ("control node") requirements: Ansible

• Guest ("managed node") requirements: Python
