Add a Terraform template

[SuperQ]

It would be handy for people using Terraform0 to have a config template in the Prometheus code/docs.

We are running on AWS, and would like to be able to bring up Prom easily.

Backing up to bacup and restore off S3 would alos be required i guess. I dont know how well Prom handles upgrading and data migration you see,

@joeblew99 Backups of Prometheus is being tracked in other issues.

Ok cool

Anyway. I also use Terraform.
If your looking for an example look at what the cockroachdb guys have. Their Terraform setup is pretty good

@SuperQ Unfortunately TF doesn't abstract the cloud provider, so we need to create separate terraform templates for various providers.
It's also unclear to me what the specific use case would be. If it should be something people can actually use in prod, it IMO should use static machine images instead some hackish cloud-init install script which would make things even more complicated.

I think this is outside the scope of the project, but we can add a link to it from the prometheus.io docs as we do for other config mgmt systems.
