Description

Right now there is some dodgy, almost-works-if-you-dont-touch-it python tooling, but terraform would probably make it less unwieldy to use.

We have some modules [here](https://github.com/weaveworks-liquidmetal/terraform-equinix-liquidmetal), which could be refactored to serve as a base. Using those existing modules would not work as the flint tests need a different setup from a full LM solution.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Python e2e infrastructure provisioning tooling and documenting how the Flint tests currently use it. Review the linked terraform-equinix-liquidmetal modules as a possible base, while comparing their setup with the setup required by Flint tests. Done means the e2e infrastructure is provisioned through a maintainable Terraform-based setup tailored to those tests.
