Terraform EC2 networking broken

I'm using Terraform 0.12.26 (built from terraform source with go build) and I want to deploy a new AWS Ubuntu machine instance.

When I run terraform apply, everything looks right... but I can't ssh to the new EC2 machine. My home firewall allows ssh everywhere, and I can ssh to any other internet resources.

If I manually install an EC2 instance in the same region / az, ssh works fine... this problem seems to be limited to Terraform.

$ terraform init
...
$ terraform apply
...
Do you want to perform these actions?
  Terraform will perform the actions described above.

QUESTION: How can I fix this terraform deployment so I can ssh to the server above?

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

• Manually building an Ubuntu image using key auth; this works fine and I can ssh to it
• Removing the terraform security group; does not help
• Changed AWS terraform regions / availability zones; does not help
• Removing user_data package installation; does not help
• Removing the aws_subnet; does not help
• Removing instance_tenancy; does not help
• Replace ssh key with another ssh key; does not help
• Replace ssh key with static username / password; does not help
• SSH from Windows with PuTTY (instead of linux & openssh); does not help

Your VPC has no Internet Gateway (IGW). You'll need to create that and add a route table entry for it.

Adding these resources should work (wrote this on my phone so your mileage may vary):

resource "aws_internet_gateway" "igw" {
  vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id

  tags = {
    Name = "main"
  }
}

resource "aws_route" "r" {
  route_table_id            = aws_route_table.rt
  destination_cidr_block    = "0.0.0.0/0"
  gateway_id = aws_internet_gateway.igw.id
}

resource "aws_route_table" "rt" {
  vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
}

resource "aws_route_table_association" "rta" {
  subnet_id      = aws_subnet.first_subnet.id
  route_table_id = aws_route_table.rt.id
}
