I’ve seen (and fixed) so many ugly messes at this point made as a result of mixing and wrapping tools with different purposes together like Ansible + Terraform that it’s something I strongly discourage. I recommend to keep the boundaries and responsibilities of the tools clear. In this case, Terraform for the creation of resources and Ansible for the configuration of those resources. In my opinion, this gives as a result a much simpler and maintainable ecosystem in the long run.
