Terraform enables users to simplify the process of organizing and reusing infrastructure code by creating modules.
Using Terraform modules becomes important in cases where users need to reuse infrastructure code across different projects.
Step 1 involves setting up the module structure to keep the Terraform code organized and maintainable.
Step 2 involves defining the core resources for the module in the main.tf file.
Step 3 requires defining the input variables for the module in the variables.tf file.
Step 4 involves defining the required providers and their respective versions in providers.tf.
Step 5 involves defining the output values that will be exposed by the module in outputs.tf file.
Step 6 involves using the Terraform module in the root configuration by defining the values for the variables.
Creating a Terraform module helps organize code and define reusable components, such as managing S3 buckets with advanced features like versioning, encryption, and policies.
Terraform modules can be used to minimize duplication, encapsulate logic for a group of resources, and follow best practices.
