Ansible is stateless because every operation is suppose to be idempotent. Unless your ansible is doing a HTTP PUT request to an API I suspect you're misusing the tool for something it's not meant to do.
State is a good thing with infrastructure and terraform got it right.
- master_crab 4y agoCloudformation is not the state of your architecture. It tracks the state. A very big difference. You can still make changes to resources within stacks outside CF, and Cloudformation can still be very unaware of the drift.
- tedk-42 4y agoThen you're using cloudformation wrong. Unless you're arguing semantics to which I'm not interested.
- pojzon 4y agoAuthor doesnt seem to understand all cases where state is simply required. Terraform is not perfect, but looking at solutions we have available on the market -> its years ahead of competition.
- sjtindell 4y agoAuthor is more asking the question, probably also thinks “it needs state” could be valid.
