This is a very informative reply and I appreciate it. With the improvements you suggest, many of which I had already started to make, we could mitigate many of the issues. However, these issues are just a few of the most recent reasons I dislike TF. I’ve never been impressed by TF documentation. It always comes up lacking for me. Subjective, I know. Similarly subjectively, when I was looking around about 6 years ago, TF had way less coverage of AWS resources than Ansible. Basically, my experience is that the level of thought and quality of engineering that went into Terraform is way less than Ansible. And I am annoyed because somehow Teraform won in spite of that. My hope is Terraform’s licensing change will fracture the market and the next thing will emerge.
