Would be cool to see Terraform, Ansible, and GitHub Actions instead

I am using linode since last 6 months. I recharged 100$ before last month. Unfortunately I lost access to login to my account last week. Until I have 80 dollars in my account. I have tried to contact them many times but no response from them.
can You do anything.

I walk away from this with two questions. You mentioned at 37:10 that if Terraform sees an existing instance, it won't make a new one.
1. How to I update an existing instance with new stuff?
2. What do I change to make more instances?
