What is Terraform?
Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied.
The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc.

Said about Terraform as an alternative
Supports many types of infrastructure natively and is less AWS-centric. Cloud Formation requires users to do more work to control non-AWS services.
Terraform is primarilly for creating infrastructure and Ansible is primarilly for configuring machines. Both offer tools in the other's domain and both offerings are disappointing there.
I've been fairly happy using Terraform to create VMs and then trigger Ansible to configure them.
