Differentiate between Terraform and Ansible.

Answer»

Ansible : Ansible is a remarkably straightforward IT automation technology. Configuration management, APPLICATION deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration are all handled by this software. Complex modifications, such as zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers, are simple using Ansible.

Following table lists the differences between Ansible and Terraform:
