Why not use ansible ? because changes to resources aren’t tracked.
Why didn’t we choose CloudFormation? Its support is limited to AWS.
Terraform config is code we write, state file is a json file. store these on the remote.
Plan is safe to do any where, apply we don’t comment any want. don’t apply locally, don’t apply locally, don’t apply locally!
