Improving tf code + docs

[newtondotcom]

Hi,

I attempted to edit the documentation to make it clearer for new users without altering the essence of your project, as it was designed to meet your specific needs.

The Terraform (tf) code includes a minor adjustment for regions with fewer than three availability domains.

Thank you for the update to k8s.tf

Here in Canada, Toronto only has 1 availability domain. There are more regions with only 1 than there are with 2+. This is a great fix.

I'm running into an issue while tf applying /infra on Node initialization (2 nodes) in Toronto, Canada

Here is the output

If you have any insights, it would be appreciated!

Turns out, Oracle really doesn't want to support people learning their platform :) Can't actually USE the Free tier.

You have to wait 48 hours according to technical support staff for all SKUs/slugs to become available after account creation. Seems like a way to punt the problem to the next tier 3 support person to me but I will wait and see.

They have $300 in credit for you to use but you have to watch your CC bill and go with the VM.Standard.A2.Flex shape and things get spun up pretty quickly.
