      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.

      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.
