Creating reusable IaC modules

One of the primary objectives of deploying infrastructure using code is to eliminate redundancy and the need for multiple templates serving similar purposes. The key is to create reusable and flexible infrastructure modules that serve a specific and well-defined purpose. This approach ensures efficiency and avoids duplicating work, allowing for the streamlined deployment and management of infrastructure resources.

Modules in IaC are self-contained files that consist of a collection of resources meant to be deployed together. They serve the purpose of breaking down complex templates into smaller, more manageable sets of code. By using modules, we can ensure that each module has a specific task or responsibility and that these modules can be reused across multiple deployments and workloads. This modular approach promotes code reusability, simplifies maintenance, and improves the overall manageability of our infrastructure deployments.
