Terraform for day 0 operations is a better experience but it had its quirks. Ansible is nice when it's done well, but when you don't have an Ansible module for something, you're essentially writing a shell script

Or your own module in Python if it gets too complex to do with just Ansible https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html

Yeah, in contrast the value proposition for Terraform was immediately obvious. "Oh, you mean I don't have to manually set up Kubernetes clusters and shit every time we want to deploy to a new region? Fucking sign me up!"
