Features to add
==========================

templates
--------------------

templates for nodes and services stored in leap_platform

commands:

    leap add-service   # menu of services, adding copies the template
    leap add-node      # you pick a service, then it copies template

deploy
---------------------

not yet working

    leap bootstrap
    leap dryrun
    leap deploy

key management
-------------------------

not yet working

    leap add-ssh-keypair
    leap add-x509-keypair

hiera logic
------------------------

leap_platform should be able insert ruby logic in the generation of hiera .yml files. for example, so say that a webapp node should get a list of all the couchdb nodes its config.

this code might look like this

    node['couchdb_ips'] = @nodes[:services => :couchdb].map(&:ip_address)

or

    node['couchdb_ips'] = @services[:couchdb].nodes.map(&:ip_address)
