How to implement best practices with Terraform AWS modules
When working with AWS infrastructure, it’s important to follow best practices to ensure a reliable, scalable, and secure environment. Terraform AWS modules provide a way to implement these best practices efficiently and consistently across different environments. In this section, we will explore some of the best practices for using Terraform AWS modules and how to implement them in your infrastructure. We’ll cover topics such as module organization, naming conventions, versioning, and more.
Terraform configurations file separation
Storing all Terraform code in a single file such as main.tf
can make it challenging to read and maintain the code. A better approach is to split the code across multiple files, each dedicated to a specific purpose or resource. This not only makes the code more organized but also easier to troubleshoot and update in the future:
main.tf
: This file calls modules, locals, and...
