Carl, Slurm might be a nice way to keep things you already have built in some sort of control plane. Things already built meaning terraform, ansible, salt, chef, <devops tool. I personally have never seen it used for a Cassandra cluster, but that doesn't mean it's not used.
I've been working towards organizing an effort around using Kubernetes for cluster management. There is a lot of work to do but this could be something really important to tackle as a community if you(or anyone else) are interested in getting involved.
