Install Terraform onto the container

https://www.terraform.io/downloads

I install using the "Linux" and "Amazon Linux" options

1. yum install -y yum-utils
2. yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/AmazonLinux/hashicorp.repo
3. yum -y install terraform

terraform -v should work after installing correctly

Create the terraform scripts

• create main.tf
• create variables.tf
