I've thought about this, and the short answer is that it's a long
answer. Here's the shortest version:

They're different, but only because IMO, the config management tools
which would solve this problem elegantly, don't currently exist ATM.

Assuming it doesn't offend anyone, I see Nulecule as a stop-gap until
config management learns how to better build multi-container
applications. This won't happen for at least a year. Assuming I'm wrong,
please excuse this due to my lack of knowledge into some of the Nulecule
specifics.

HTH,
James
