Red Hat is a shell of itself. There is no appetite for taking on Terraform when Ansible is their ugly baby.

- tristan957 3y agoI've found they are complements to each other. One provisions infra, the other customized that infra for your needs. But I could be totally off-base.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoYes. I did this a while back: https://github.com/radekg/terraform-provisioner-ansible https://github.com/radekg/terraform-provisioner-ansible. That received some contributions from IBM. Unfortunately, HC never wanted to maintain it, then in 0.15 they replaced provisioners with providers or plugins (can’t remember anymore). I had a couple of discussions with their OSS head for TF at the time but the bottom line from them was „why don’t you rewrite it in your spare time”. The problem was their replacement didn’t give access to the underlying communicator (your SSH or winrm). So I hung the towel.
- op00to 3y agoYou’re right, I was off base with my comment. They are indeed complementary.
