 - Use only plain Terraform in your solution, i.e. anything supported by the Terraform CLI installed by the `run.sh` script, but not external tooling or libraries that wrap or extend Terraform, such as Terragrunt or tfenv
 - Only modify files in the `tf/` directory, `run.sh`, and `docker-compose.yml`
