+Terraform provisioner for end to end tests
+==========================================
+
+This folder contains terraform resources for provisioning a nomad cluster on AWS for end to end tests.
+It uses a nomad binary identified by its commit SHA that's stored in a shared s3 bucket that Nomad team
+developers can access.
+
+```
+$ cd e2e/terraform/
+$ TF_VAR_nomad_sha=<nomad_sha> terraform apply
+```
+
+After this step, you should have a nomad client address to point the end to end tests in the `e2e` folder to.
