You've hit the on the head here. Kubernetes is like Java of cloud infrastructure if interfacing directly with every vendor could be seen as C.

I'd very much like a Ruby/Python/Rust of cloud infrastructure to come along and clean up this mess.

Isn't that a PaaS such-as Google App Engine?

That's more like Excel. I'm thinking something more like Heroku, but standardized/OSS.

Have you seen Dokku? https://github.com/dokku/dokku

Might be something like what you're after.

Dokku is great, I have been using it for years. The only downside is a lack of scaling/clustering.

Docker swarm could be the step after dokku for when you'd ever need scaling and the like rather than just a bigger VPS for when the first one starts to feel small.

I think you are confusing App Engine with Apps Script. Doesn't help the names are so similar... App Engine is like Heroku.
