Your description of Ansible makes me think of the Apache Ant build system. James Duncan Davidson's post mortem was illuminating. He never intended to create executable XML scripting.
Am noob. Have done a wee bit of CloudFormation, Docker, k8s. And once completed a Terraform howto. I've never touched Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.
I'd love a feature comparison matrix. Or maybe a decision flowchart on how to choose which tool for which job.

Update: This comparison was linked upthread. It's pretty good.
