aws_volume_attachment
When you want to attach and detach pre-existing EBS volumes to an
instance, we would do that as follows:
```
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
ami = "ami-21f78e11"
availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
instance_type = "t1.micro"
tags {
Name = "HelloWorld"
}
}
data "aws_ebs_volume" "ebs_volume" {
filter {
name = "size"
values = ["${aws_ebs_volume.example.size}"]
}
filter {
name = "availability-zone"
values = ["${aws_ebs_volume.example.availability_zone}"]
}
filter {
name = "tag:Name"
values = ["TestVolume"]
}
}
resource "aws_volume_attachment" "ebs_att" {
device_name = "/dev/sdh"
volume_id = "${data.aws_ebs_volume.ebs_volume.id}"
instance_id = "${aws_instance.web.id}"
skip_destroy = true
}
```
The issue here is that when we run a terraform destroy command, the volume tries to get detached from a running instance and goes into a non-responsive state. We would have to force_destroy the volume at that point and risk losing any data on it.
This PR introduces the idea of `skip_destroy` on a volume attachment. tl;dr:
We want the volume to be detached from the instane when the instance itself has been destroyed. This way the normal shut procedures will happen and protect the disk for attachment to another instance

`set PATH=%PATH%;C:\terraform` is the old fashioned CMD ways to do which doesn't work in a PowerShell command line.
Moreover, the change made in the CMD console would not be permanent.
The solution proposed here uses .NET Framework’s System.Environment class in PowerShell to properly edit the path.

This will allows us to filter a specific ebs_volume for attachment to an
aws_instance

Specifically:
- User data is available in all regions, so remove the sentence saying
to check for supported features in each region.
- Clarify domain vs. DNS record resources.
- Explain which DNS record types the `weight`, `port`, and `priority`
arguments are applicable for.
this once fixed aliasing issues related to the css transform: skew in
webkit browsers. a recent release causes it to render artifacts and bug
out. removing the declaration fixes it.
Fixes#6447
This ensures that all variables of type string are consistently
converted to a string value upon running Terraform.
The place this is done is in the `Variables()` call within the
`terraform` package. This is the function responsible for loading and
merging the variables from the various sources and seems ideal for
proper conversion to consistent values for various types. We actually
already had tests to this effect.
This also adds docs that talk about the fake-ish boolean variables
Terraform currently has and about how in future versions we'll likely
support them properly, which can cause BC issues so beware.
When creating a CloudWatch Metric for an Application Load Balancer Target Group it is
neccessary to use the suffix of the ARN as the reference to the load
balancer TG . This commit exposes that as an attribute on the `aws_alb_target_group`
resource to prevent the need to use regular expression substitution to
make the reference.
