The original motivation wasn't exactly that, but we changed it. At the first moment, we started an open source platform as a service based on Globo.com needs. That's why tsuru first supported EC2 instances. But that's pretty expensive: having 10 virtual machines for an app is not cheap, and does not fit in most company's budgets.
That's why we started implementing support for application containers, and we need to work on documentation and facilitate the life of people willing to deploy tsuru.
