Is Ansible better than Terraform?

The question is about Ansible

Answer:

Ansible and Terraform both automate infrastructure, but they excel in different areas. Ansible is a configuration management tool that fits in the right spot for configuring and maintaining the systems. Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool focused on building and managing cloud infrastructure from scratch. If a user wants to create and manage infrastructure across cloud providers, Terraform may be better. On the other hand, in case of continuous server configurations and to deploy applications, Ansible will get an edge. Most of the teams knew how to use it together: Terraform for provisioning and Ansible for Configuration Management.
