    I would like to provision out these environments via Terraform. I would pass in the appropriate information via TF variables and environment variables to help with the customization of the environment. Using something like Python's os.system() seems a little kludgy. python-terraform hasn't been updated in a while. I haven't used CDK for Terraform, but the one thing that I read made it seem like it's not that great or ready for prime time?
