Module Registry
The Module Registry is a library of reusable Terraform modules. Modules encapsulate commonly used infrastructure patterns so you can deploy consistent, best-practice infrastructure quickly.
Accessing the Module Registry
- Click 'Module Registry' in the left sidebar
What is a Terraform Module? - A module is a collection of Terraform resources packaged together - Modules are parameterized — you provide input variables to configure them - Using modules prevents repeating the same resource configurations across projects - Examples: A VPC module, an EC2 web server module, a PostgreSQL RDS module
