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.
Wait how? What do you use? I think I’ve seen a Terraform connector for Kubernetes but that’s about it
There is esxi via vsphere, Hyper-V and Proxmox providers
Ah, thanks

Which kinda sounds like the Borg.
Do we want a drone, an operative, or whatever 7 of 9 is.
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.
