Things like:
* Building fully automated and really complex CI/CD workflows from several tools
* Do something with your AWS or RackSpace clusters based on monitoring event from NewRelic, Sensu, Nagios
* Automatic node replacement in cluster, migrating MySQL master (sleep well!)
* Security automation, based on detecting erroneous events and automatically freezing account/activity and then notifying human about the incident
* Create JIRA issue as part of Workflow, kind of detailed report after some action being done
* Listen for new events/changes in Trello/Kafka/GitHub/RabbitMQ/anything even Twitter and trigger an action
* Folks even using it for Smart Home Automation
* ChatOps thing: obtain info about your infrastructure from Chat or trigger your favorite CM tool: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt.
Most probably anyone can imagine lots of use cases with their favorite DevOps tools, how to tie them together.
