Terraform was just for interacting with the cloud provider and spinning up the servers. Ansible was responsible for deploying all dependencies and getting the servers actually ready for use. Remember, none of this architecture was dockerized.
I had originally used Ansible to interact with the cloud provider and do the provisioning too, but someone on the corporate infrastructure team wanted to use terraform for that instead, so they did the migration.
