2.1.1 Apply Terraform IaC

In this exercise, we assume the verification of global services and create AWS resources in the Sydney and São Paulo regions. For each region, the basic environment is automatically configured using Terraform. Before terraform apply, set ssh_ingress_cidr (your own IP, for example 203.0.113.10/32) as a Terraform variable; SSH is open only to that address. See Security Notes in the repository README.

2.1.2 Checking Generated Resources

Check the resources created automatically through Terraform on SYDNEY Region.
