This x 10.

Ansible and OpenTofu/Terraform is where it is at. And you can use Claude/Codex with that setup.

But I do have a single cluster at home which allowed me to learn both Kubernetes and Terraform, I also hate Docker so much that I prefer to convert a Dockerfile into a Terraform template and voila, I do not use it to run my stuff.

I enjoy Terraform very much with Terragrunt. Terraform alone is too messy, Terragrunt makes the house cleaner.
