Hi, Docker is pretty complementary with the configuration management tools you mention. Lots of people use them in combination.
One common pattern is to use chef/puppet/salt/ansible to help you build the application stack inside the container, then seal the result into a standard Docker container. Once the build phase is over, it no longer matters which configuration management tool you used (if any), which makes your application more portable across infrastructure. See for example http://tech.paulcz.net/2013/09/creating-immutable-servers-wi...
