If you're just jumping in right now, I highly recommend looking at Red
Hat's Project Atomic <http://www.projectatomic.io/> (and, hey, it's on
topic after all - Fedora Atomic Host).

This focuses on the app deployment story, not just "basically a hosted
vm, but with an api instead of a web control panel". And it sounds like
you're looking for the full deal. :)
