It's basically what you get when you start your deployment toolchain as simple shell scripts, then make them evolve, add features, and at some point, rewrite from scratch with a "real" programming language. I don't know if that matches your definition of "glorified" though :-)

I'm reading this python example (http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/examples/python_web_app/) and it's a wrapper for running bash scripts with arcane syntax layered on top.
