So why isn't it also a replacement for ansible? I dont understand this artificially limited scope. You set machines up, why not also set up their software and repos?

I don't know a lot about terraform, but it sounds like they are very different things? Terraform talks mostly to cloud provider apis, ansible usually deals with running code on the servers themselves.

Ansible can be used in conjunction with TerraForm and Packer to create AMIs which get fed into a TerraForm script. That's one way, anyway
