203 β€” Module Basics

Intermediate

Learn to reuse existing code by consuming modules from the Terraform Registry and local sources.

Learning Objectives

1
Understand what modules are
2
Use modules from the Terraform Registry
3
Pass inputs and read outputs
4
Work with module versions
Step 1

Understand module concepts

Set up a directory and understand what Terraform modules are.

Commands to Run

mkdir -p ~/terraform-practice/lesson-203
cd ~/terraform-practice/lesson-203

What This Does

A Terraform module is a container for multiple resources that are used together. Every Terraform configuration is technically a module (the root module). Modules promote code reuse and organization.

Expected Outcome

You're in the lesson-203 directory.
