An acceptance test is a Go test function with the prefix `TestAcc`.

To run a focussed acceptance test named `TestAccFeatureHappyPath`:

1. Run `go test -run=TestAccFeatureHappyPath` with the following environment
   variables:
   - `TF_ACC=1`
   
   Default to non-verbose test output.
1. The acceptance tests may require additional environment variables for
   specific providers. If the test output indicates missing environment
   variables, then suggest how to set up these environment variables securely.

options are cumulative: each option includes all the options above it.
