Ansible is frequently used with Docker as an advanced format for describing what goes into a container, to set up container hosts, and also to orchestrate Docker deployments and upgrades.

In order to make construction of containers even easier, today we’re announcing new Ansible sponsored content on Docker Hub.

If you’re using Docker, these base images can help you more rapidly describe and build Docker containers using the 240+ “building-block” modules available in Ansible, and take advantage of the vast libraries of existing roles available on sites like http://galaxy.ansible.com and GitHub.

Ansible content for Docker can be found at https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/ansible on Docker Hub and https://github.com/ansible/ansible-docker-base on GitHub.

For technical details refer to the Ansible project documentation at https://github.com/ansible/ansible-docker-base/blob/master/README.md
