Module Block
Defining and configuring reusable modules to encapsulate and manage infrastructure components. It allows us to organize and modularize your infrastructure code, promoting reusability, maintainability, and scalability.
- Including and configuring reusable modules in Terraform configurations.
- Encapsulating a set of resources and configurations into a self-contained module.
- Promoting modularity, reusability, and maintainability of infrastructure code.
Example:
module "vpc" { source = "./modules/vpc" region = "us-west-2" }
Different Types of Blocks in Terraform
Terraform is an infrastructure as a code tool that allows you to define and configure your infrastructure using your declarative code. Its syntax is very simple. Terraform uses a configuration language to describe the desired state of your infrastructure, and this language is composed of various block types. These block types play a crucial role in defining and configuring infrastructure in Terraform.
In Terraform, a block is a fundamental unit used to define and configure different aspects of your infrastructure. Blocks are written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and allow you to declare resources, providers, variables, outputs, and other configuration elements within your Terraform code.
Each block serves a specific purpose and has its own syntax and set of properties. Here are some common block types used in Terraform:
