 Check out Atomicapp https://github.com/projectatomic/atomicapp

Nulecule is the specification for handling multi-container multi-provider
applications.  Atomicapp is a reference implementation that consists of a
tool that can deploy Nulecule defined apps.  There is an Atomicapp
container that can be used as a base layer with atomic that uses docker
LABELs to provide run instructions.  I've not tried a SPC container with an
Atomicapp.

cc'ing container-tools list to get some visibility to the
Nulecule/Atomicapp folks.
