It sounds like you're reinventing a PaaS, which is a road many people go down when they build their devops environment from the ground up.

In the long run it's a bad idea: you wind up with a snowflake PaaS that only you maintain and only you can understand or extend. The amount of engineering effort behind Heroku, Cloud Foundry or OpenShift is enormous and you can get support on a high level.

I'm biased, because I work for Pivotal (who founded Cloud Foundry), but in my view rolling your own PaaS is a strategic error at this point.
