Deploy x number of shell VMs in VMware Cloud on AWS

This example shows how to programmatically deploy a set amount of "shell" VMs (no operating system installed) in a VMware Cloud on AWS Software-defined Data Center (SDDC) via HashiCorp Terraform. The original use case for this template was simple scalability testing, but it could also be used as a starter infrastructure as code template for your SDDC.
