I rather like Tentacle, actually.

One of the other things that has bugged me about this whole project is the 
ssh orchestrator name, and the combination of the two (ceph-dadmon + 
mgr/ssh?  ssh-orch?).  In reality, the two go together.  Although in 
theory you could use most of ceph-daemon with a different orchestrator 
framework, in practice the bootstrap configures the ssh orch for you, and 
most of the rest of ceph-daemon is just an extension of mgr/ssh to run 
remotely.

Renaming both mgr/ssh -> mgr/tentacle and /usr/bin/ceph-daemon -> 
/usr/bin/tentacle would solidify the idea that it's one thing, comparable 
to it's counterpart Rook in the kubernetes space.  It would also get the 
'ssh' out of the name, which is a bit misleading (and doesn't really sell 
its value).  We use ssh to run ceph-daemon on remote nodes, but this could 
be swapped out for something else if the need arose.

Or perhaps, in the spirit of tendrl, we should do tentacl?  :)

Otherwise, ceph-adm is currently in the lead.
