KVM virtualization is pretty much out of the box. Docker isn't hard. Since 
you are running on Linux, are you aware that systemd has its own kind of 
containerization which builds on features of the modern Linux kernel? Take 
a look at systemd-nspawn. (man systemd-nspawn) I don't have a playbook for 
you, unfortunately.
