  Remaining questions:
  - is Augeas support sufficient for configuration, or does it need a more advanced wrapper?
  - related to the above, is a configuration library / tool needed?
  - @zulcss: does Nagios nut plug-in offer sufficient features for your purpose?
  
  == Items to consider ==
  1. Implement power support in Cloud schedulers using NUT: TODO (lack an assignee)
  2. Create power consumption reports (not ready for billing, only informative)
  3. Asset management support for power devices. Ie, Provide device information like manufacturer name and model, serial number, location, contact, service dates, ...
