That was my original thinking as well, I usually like setting up the base system and then use something like ansible to do setup of the services after rebooting.

Also remember that anaconda can be used to create disk images, so this can be used to make images with the required docker images already installed and setup, and then those images can be deployed with something like vagrant. -- Brian C.
