Yeah, Ansible is something we are strong considering for managing docker hosts and container instantiation. As for building and provisioning containers, I would still argue that Dockerfile is superior for most of the work that needs to be done. Runtime configuration file templating is definitely something I'd like to see included in a Dockerfile definition, but until then at RelateIQ we are looking to a simpler solution than Chef for that and Ansible looks promising in this regard as well.
