Given the usage of Ansible & Docker by this group - this may prove interesting. Ansible Container is undergoing rapid development. For now, Ansible Container can only be installed from source. See INSTALL.md for details. https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2016/06/20/ansible-native-container-workflow... Red Hat launched Ansible Container under the Ansible project, which provides a simple, powerful, and agent-less open source IT automation framework. Available now as a technology preview, Ansible Container allows for the complete creation of Docker-formatted Linux containers within Ansible Playbooks, eliminating the need to use external tools like Dockerfile or docker-compose. Ansible's modular code base, combined with ease of contribution, and a community of contributors in GitHub, enables the powerful IT automation platform to manage today's infrastructure, but also adapt to new IT needs and DevOps workflows.
