I agree that this would be nice, but unfortunately working with ceph storage
requires cinder. Engine is managing disks via cinder, and also manage
deployment of ceph secrets on the hosts that need access to the ceph.

For long term we want to support not only ceph but all storage supported
by cinder, leveraging cinder echo system.
