Usage

This project uses Terraform (get it from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html). To run main.tf, you'll need:

• AWS credentials in ~/.aws/credentials under a profile named aws_admin (or you can change the profile name in main.tf)
• To change the bucket name to something unique

Then, run Terraform with:

# Initialize terraform in the current directory and download the AWS provider
terraform init
# Preview what changes will be made
terraform plan
# Make the changes (create and populate the S3 bucket)
terraform apply
