For continued sanity of all involved I'd agree that avoiding manual cloud 
partitioning is strongly recommended. It is ok for small experiments, and 
not much more than that.

I've been trying to work out how to leverage both Ansible and Docker 
containers (may they be hosted using CoreOS, Project Atomic, Shipper...I 
really don't care which at this point so long as it won't set the 
datacenter on fire or something) going forward. My current thinking has the 
existing docker module used as a system for building container images 
pushed to a local registry. Something else (fleet, geard, mesos, Shipper's 
gadget) manages the placement of containers onto hosts, after Ansible tells 
it what to do. (Everyone sails off happily into the sunset...)
 
That's my highly idealistic vision anyway. We'll see what happens.
