Technically Terraform tracks and provisions its own state. The cloud provider's state at any given time may be different, and Terraform may find it impossible to resolve the difference, leaving you to manually fix it. Ansible (mostly) does not refuse to do anything just because the state changed. If you need to make sure something happens, you can be more confident Ansible will do it, because it doesn't care what the state was before now.
