NixOps + the kind of money mainstream projects get would be really nice. Sadly NixOps is a lil rough around the edges. I like using it for my projects already though. I manually provision on DO instead of letting the tool do that.
Agree, they approached this by creating a common interface to provision VMs. The good part is that you can deploy the image to different cloud providers with minimum changes. The bad think is that it is utilizing the common components among all providers, that means you essentially can just deploy VM and that's it. No autoscaling etc.
