Ansible completes Docker in ways which make the two a killer combination. Without leaving the local shell environment, I can create new DigitalOcean droplets, configure them (including docker), clone a git repository remotely, build Docker images, start Docker containers, register them with a load balancer, update DNSMadeEasy, notify HipChat - all with minimal effort. Both make me excited beyond words. I’m a child again, discovering the shell, writing my first for loop… thank you for making infrastructure fun again : )
