A deprecated CLI tool that built Docker images and orchestrated container deployment using Ansible playbooks instead of Dockerfiles. It managed the container lifecycle from build through testing to deployment on cloud providers or Kubernetes.
Use cases
- build docker images from ansible playbooks
- orchestrate containers with ansible instead of docker compose
- deploy containers to kubernetes using ansible
- manage container lifecycle from development to production
- push built images to a container registry
When to choose
- you are already maintaining a legacy project that uses ansible-container
- you need to understand or migrate an existing ansible-container workflow
When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is officially deprecated and unmaintained
- building container images - use ansible-bender instead
- deploying containers to kubernetes - use Ansible Operators instead
- you want active community support or bug fixes
