We've been working on a directed graph execution engine called Converge https://github.com/asteris-llc/converge.

In this case the task resource http://converge.aster.is/0.5.0/resources/task/ might help, as it allows you to create a directed graph using any kind of interpreter (for example, Python or Ruby) instead of having to use the DSL.

Nice, thanks for the pointer. It's nice to see templated shell calls, as these can be a powerful bridge between orchestration and execution.

You call this as a configuration management tools on Github. Does that make this a competitor to Ansible, etc as well?

Yes, we have designed it to deploy things like Kubernetes and Mesos clusters via integrations with Terraform and Packer.
