Terraform Introduction

[mtonxbjss]

We have a new engineer joining the team! They have prior experience using Terraform, but they would really benefit from a walkthrough of how our repo is structured.

You don't have to cover everything in the repo, but an overview of some of the major features would be hugely beneficial.

Try to focus on things like:

• how state is handled
• the difference between account & application configs
• use of providers & any external modules
• how local modules are used to organise the code
• how static files are deployed to s3
• how lambda functions are packaged & deployed

...and so on. Don't feel constrained by this list though, come up with your own list if you prefer, I'm sure our new starter will appreciate anything you can tell them.

Also, if while doing this you have any suggestions for how to improve the repo structure then include those too!
