You can also build your own image, Docker Buildkit is recommended

1. Set avalon_docker_code_branch and avalon_branch in terraform.tfvars if necessary. (Latest tags are v8.1.1 for Avalon and avalon-8.1-aws_min for avalon-docker.)

   terraform apply

You may also see an error when attempting to create an iam user which already exists. If this happens rerunning the terraform apply should resolve the issue and successfully run to completion
