These files are used to prepare our terraform backend environment. They create an S3 bucket for storing terraform remote state, another S3 bucket for storing logs of the changes to terraform state for auditing purposes, and creates a DynamoDB table used by terraform for locking and consistency. These configs are only run once to initialize the environment, so these resources are available for the rest of our terraform configs to store remote state and handle locking for to allow for safe use across a team.

NOTE: there is a known issue with the DynamoDB table disabled ttl attribute,
but you can still `terraform apply` config updates to the two s3 buckets even with this error:
