Yep, it does to a great degree now - read http://www.ansible.com/blog/2014/02/12/installing-and-buildi... and can also be used to deploy containers.

As various "clouds" for Docker spawn up the various cloud modules will also be able to talk to these things.

thanks for this. this is great, but could you build a more sophisticated example with port mapping, volume bind mapping and passing of variables to containers?

if you look at a fairly trivial fig.yml, you'll know what I mean. This is what enables a fairly common usecase (e.g. wordpress docker -> mysql docker) to be setup fairly quickly.
