Another TS newbie question: how does one specify a value for the type of instance to create, and then re-use that value multiple times? For example:

let bastionType = "t2.small";
let bastion_instance = new aws.ec2.Instance("bastion", {
    instanceType = bastionType,
});

This doesn't work (

instanceType

requires type Input, but I can't seem to declare my variable as that type).

Can you declare your bastionType as:

let bastionType = aws.ec2.InstanceTypes.T2_Small

Ah, that's got it. I saw the reference to

aws.ec2.InstanceTypes

but wasn't sure exactly how to use it (for example, I tried declaring the type of "bastionType" as that, but that didn't work). Thank you!
