Cloudformation vs Terraform vs Ansible

Write in 3 tech stacks a simple AWS infrastructure. This to compare how long it takes to write. How many lines of code. And maybe check which one runs the fastest?

The Stack:

• Create 1 x VPC with 4 x VPC subnets(2 x public and 2 x private) in different AZ zones one AWS region
• Create 1 x security group for each(Webservers,RDS and ELB)
• Provision 2 x EC2 instances(Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) in 2 different public subnets
• Provision 1 x RDS instance in private subnets
• Launch and configure public facing VPC ELB (cross_az_load_balancing) and attach VPC subnets
• Register EC2 instances on ELB

We kept it simple. No dynamic hosts using ec2.py and work with tags to get hosts. Just a static hosts file. It took like 30 minutes to hack it together and 20 minutes to test it.

Every resource will be created from one cloudformation run/file. It took 1 hour to create and test it.

One Terraform project without any modules. Keeping it simple. It took 30 min to create and test it.
