TripleO should allow discovery of Ceph OSD devices based on device descriptions
At a large scale, it may be difficult to specify Ceph OSDs, and their journals, by device name without first automating the generation of the yaml that is provided as input to TripleO. This is a proposal to move the burden of generating this type of input yaml from the deployer to the deployment tool.
In a small deployment, with uniform storage nodes, the deployer may specify a list of OSD devices, e.g. ['/dev/sdb', '/dev/sdc', '/dev/sdd']. However, at large scale, the number and type of devices may differ due to purchasing hardware at different times. This complexity may be compounded if the hardware device names are not stable across reboots. Though these matters may be resolved by using node-specific hiera data and using a path like /dev/disk/by-path/ with PCI IDs, e.g. pci-0000:
{'vendor'

[2018-07-11] Moving to Stein as we're fast approaching Rocky M3 and there are no patches.
No update from ceph-ansible on this feature so puting to tripleo-future
