I have been using ansible for building and deploying docker images for a while. Surprisingly I felt this is a really nice solution for leveraging docker, so I wrote an article about it, you can read it here:

Not only for building docker image, I think it’s also possible to build other kind of software with ansible. Anyway, just want to share some of thoughts, hope this could be helpful somehow.

Thanks for the blog post!

Here’s an early article I wrote too that folks may find interesting on the same subject:

We’re considering building a nice wrapper to make some of this a bit easier, and require some degrees less of boilerplate.
