 Mistral was originally added to take the place of an “API” and provide common
 logic for tripleoclient and TripleO UI. After the TripleO UI was removed, the
 only consumer of Mistral is tripleoclient. This means that Mistral now adds

+Converting Mistral Workflows to Ansible
+***************************************

+For each Mistral workflow the following steps need to be taken to port them

+- Re-write the Mistral workflow logic in Ansible, reusing the Mistral Python
