Ansible vs Terraform

Notes:

From: https://www.pluralsight.com/resources/blog/cloud/ansible-vs-terraform-fight

"I personally prefer to use Terraform for orchestration and Ansible for configuration management. Why? Because I find Terraform to be much more intuitive for infrastructure orchestration. Orchestration is what Terraform was created for, and that is its primary purpose. All updates for Terraform are focused on orchestration, and it just seems to be more polished for it. Also, “Terraform Plan” is an excellent tool that provides more useful information than the Ansible --dry-run command.

Ansible, on the other hand, is optimized for configuration management. It can perform orchestration tasks, but that is just part of what it does."
