A "Layer" is a particular service that forms part of the infrastructure for
a set of applications. Some layers are application servers and others are
pure infrastructure, like MySQL servers or load balancers.
Although the AWS API only has one type called "Layer", it actually has
a number of different "soft" types that each have slightly different
validation rules and extra properties that are packed into the Attributes
map.
To make the validation rule differences explicit in Terraform, and to make
the Terraform structure more closely resemble the OpsWorks UI than its
API, we use a separate resource type per layer type, with the common code
factored out into a shared struct type.
"Stack" is the root concept in OpsWorks, and acts as a container for a number
of different "layers" that each provide some service for an application.
A stack isn't very interesting on its own, but it needs to be created before
any layers can be created.
AWS provides three different ways to create AMIs that each have different
inputs, but once they are complete the same management operations apply.
Thus these three resources each have a different "Create" implementation
but then share the same "Read", "Update" and "Delete" implementations.
