In the case of Tendrl we have Ceph node agents that communicate with an etcd central store for all operations. In this particular case I think we would likely trigger the local node agent to run a local ansible playbook to execute the needed code (via etcd). So an API to consume these events from Ceph efficiently would be the enabling technology we'd be interested in.
