These are both great ideas. It would be also nice to access these in a
single machine setup. I don't know where to implement this, it might make
sense to add these to the common part of deploy and reconfigure. IIRC we
also discussed the idea of a local deployer to be able handle the deploy
node the same way as the rest. Regarding the roles thing it would be nice
to get a discussion going regarding the interface, so that we have an idea
how it should look like. Wdyt?
