Question

resource "aws_instance" "some-instance" {
  ami           = "ami-201720221991yay"
  instance_type = "t2.micro
}

Answer 1

It's a resource of type "aws_instance" used to provision an instance. The name of the resource (NOT INSTANCE) is "some-instance".

The instance itself will be provisioned with type "t2.micro" and using an image of the AMI "ami-201720221991yay".
