Is this open-source or do I have to pay? Not clear from the web-site.

If I have to coordinate multiple apps (three apps in this system, have to speak with each other over ports) and I want to run each app in its own container, on the same server, or distributed, can Ansible help me? Thanks.

Ansible is FOSS - so yes, open-source and free for you to use.

Ansible is an automation tool which lets you create one or more playbooks for automatically configuring and deploying applications.

You certainly could use it to automate the configuration of these apps in containers, and for the case of distributed multi-machine arrangement it will improve your life.
