To give us the ability to prove whether or not connectivity can be established between the different regional VPCs. And for that, we're going to use EC2 instances. Now, when deploying EC2 and Terraform, we are going to just pick immediately to use a module rather than individual resources for many of the same efficiency reasons that we chose modules for other objects like VPCs and the transit gateway. And so, there are some variables that we're going to have to come up with like the AMI. And when we look at the code, we're going to see that we can actually generate this dynamically with the latest AMI, with a special type of resource called a data object. We need an instance type. And for this, we will probably just essentially hard code it, but it's going to be a variable that we are going to provide in each of the regions. We need a key pair, and in this case, we're…
