On first setup

TODO: write CD script

1. create environment folder with module (see dev environment for example).
2. make sure the name of the backend bucket in main.tf & backend.tf is the same.
3. comment out code in backend.tf, we don't have a state to remote yet.
4. when on the created env folder

terraform init  # download modules & pull/create remote backend
terraform apply # create cluster/machine

5. uncomment backend.tf, run terraform init again and send state to remote backend.

• on cleanup

terraform destroy
