Terraform talks to “clouds”, where as Ansible talks to devices. Whilst clouds do have many devices, I feel like Ansible has a greater ability to absorb likeness/distinctiveness (ships), over a greater scale than terraform.
I don’t use Terraform but from my understanding Terraform is more for “what kind of server hardware/VM/container/… do I want” and less “which configuration do I want on that server/VM/container/…”
Quick, do another one but with Terraform.

Terraform isn’t limited to clouds. We use it for our onprem kit.

Which kinda sounds like the Borg.
Do we want a drone, an operative, or whatever 7 of 9 is.
Wait how? What do you use? I think I’ve seen a Terraform connector for Kubernetes but that’s about it
afaik, terraform does not allow you to manage the state of an OS. Think managing motd file or ensuring certain packages are installed.
You might like to try out pulumi.
