Pull request overview
This PR introduces a comprehensive AWS infrastructure module (aws-infra) for Databricks deployments, providing a standardized foundation for developing AWS-based Databricks examples. The module creates VPC infrastructure, S3 storage buckets, IAM roles, and security configurations with optional features for Private Link, hub-spoke architecture, and network firewalls.
Key changes:
- Creates core AWS infrastructure components (VPC, S3 buckets, IAM roles, VPC endpoints)
- Adds optional Private Link support for secure Databricks connectivity
- Implements optional hub-spoke architecture with Transit Gateway and Network Firewall
- Includes comprehensive documentation and example configurations

Using timestamp() in common tags will cause Terraform to detect changes on every plan/apply, even when no actual infrastructure changes are needed. This is a known anti-pattern that leads to unnecessary plan noise and potential state drift. Consider removing this tag or using a static value set once during initial deployment.

yep, time_static would be better here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/time/latest/docs/resources/static#basic-usage

Is the encryption optional/configurable?

How configurable are policies? For cross-account we have different policy types: restricted/managed/...

Do we always need a NAT gateway when implementing a Hub & Spoke architecture?

I think that it makes sense to have a separate module for UC S3 buckets, but allow them to be linked with this module.

Why is the duplication with modules/aws/aws-infra/components/iam.tf?
