Ask HN: Ansible vs. Terraform

Use both. If it talks ssh, Ansible. If it talks http, Terraform. I use Ansible to define what goes into Packer images. I use Terraform to deploy those images. Then I use Ansible again to flip flags or run migrations.

Gotcha, Thanks for the answer!

Any benefit or drawback that you can share when you used both of them?

I'm not sure about Terraform since it's still new from me especially the state file part in Terraform
