Re:Terraform vs. AWS CloudFormation by sandGorgon on Thursday October 07, 2021 @03:22AM (#28783253)
generally speaking - ansible is not used for clouds. Especially if ur leveraging things like spot instances, etc.

Because ansible needs a trigger to start configuring the server.

The most general practice now is to use cloud-init (https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

For example, this is how u set it up on AWS - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/user-dat...

i think cloud-init is packaged by default on all providers OS images.
