Q) You derp, wp and Terraform are easy, why did you do this?

A) 'cause I am not a uber-terraform-brain like you; learning takes time and practice.

Q) I did everything it said but when I use the DNS address nothing happens, why?!

A) Terraform will output success when AWS receives the request to provision the EC2 instance; however, the instance still takes time to start up.

Q) Can I use this?

A) Yes, in accordance to the attached MIT Lic.

Q) Why am I getting charged by AWS?

A) Most likely reason is that you might have forgot to run the terraform destroy command to remove the resources that were created.
