We won't have volume management addressed with 11.10. Currently all instances
launched by ensemble against ec2 are using ebs backed volumes, so there is some
notion of data persistence, just completely unexposed via ensemble.

I'd ideally like to see a volume per unit, against environment/provider level
volume management services [1, 2]. Ideally we could drive physical installations
towards openstack/orchestra and utilize the volume capabilities available there.
