Pivotal and Google built Kubo (recently renamed to the less memorable Cloudfoundry Container Runtime[0]) to make the deployment/management/upgrade thing easier. It's built on top of BOSH, which has a relatively long track record in managing stateful, long-lived, distributed systems on top of IaaSes.
Disclosure: I work for Pivotal.
