Understanding Terraform modules
Terraform modules are reusable, encapsulated packages of Terraform code that allow you to efficiently manage and organize your infrastructure. They help you to abstract common infrastructure patterns, reduce code duplication, and make it easier to maintain, update, and share your infrastructure code. In this section, we’ll dive into the details of Terraform modules and learn how to use them effectively to manage your infrastructure.
What is a Terraform module?
Terraform modules are powerful features that allow you to encapsulate a group of resources dedicated to one task into a collection of standard configuration files within a dedicated directory. This reduces the amount of code needed for similar infrastructure components and makes it easier to manage and reuse configuration code. When you run Terraform commands from a module directory, it is considered the root module. In fact, every Terraform configuration is part of a module. The following...
