The hyperlink for `aws_instance resource` should be updated to `https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/instance`, which drops the `.html` suffix.

The specified combination of instance_class and engine appears to have been deprecated, resulting in an apply error similar to:

InvalidParameterCombination: RDS does not support creating a DB instance with the following combination: DBInstanceClass=db.t2.micro, Engine=mysql, EngineVersion=8.0.35, LicenseModel=general-public-license. For supported combinations of instance class and database engine version, see the documentation.

That is reflected in the AWS documentation, which says that MySQL support on t2.micro has been deprecated.

Changing this to a t3.micro resolves the error and stays within the free tier.
