Can we have some final decision on Stanza versus Block? I have witnessed a few more mentions of "Stanza" with respect to Terraform than I generally have seen. It usually seemed limited to folks that first used Consul or Vault.

why didn't you just do aws configure in the terminal and then proceed from there, is there a specific reason why you didnt do this or is it just another method?
