FYI: http://oneops.com is the tech stack used for "Application Lifecycle Management of Cloud Based Workloads" at Walmart / Sam's Club / Etc. It was aquired in 2013 but remains open source (not sure who else is using it though). At a high level it is built around Chef solo, and allows you to define application "assemblies" that can then be deployed to various clouds (on prem or public PaaS). Being cloud agnostic means it can shift workloads between different cloud providers with only minor tweaks to the applications.

It works well for a large company with many moving parts and a need for Enterprise wide policies/quotas/etc, but has some rough edges and leaky abstractions. Kubernetes is a more mature and widely used system that has many of the same features, just based around containers instead of VMs.

Disclosure: I work for Walmart Labs on our CDN / Edge Platform team.
