2. I mean I don't use ansible with any cloud, only with hardware or legacy on prem stacks - older versions of Cisco, Netapp, Vmware. I prefer a stateful system like terraform to a stateless one like ansible.
3. I like typed languages. I hate yaml. Logic in ansible playbooks (yaml) is inevitable and a nightmare at scale.
4. Having moved to a container orchestrator, all of my nodes are immutable, I do not change or modify them. Hardware and VM instances _can_ be born magically into existence. Nearly all infra providers support [cluster-api](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/) or some other autoscaling controller. Network infrastructure can now be managed with TF, so I go that route.
