The tool can run Ansible playbooks of various applications for installation on the deployed or imported infrastructure. Many sample Ansible playbooks have already been provided, forming a basis on which to extend the framework.

A Docker module allows you to install the Docker daemon and client on arbitrary virtual machine (VM) instances and use the same Ansible playbooks to deploy software into
