Terraform Module Template

• terraform-module-template

  A repo template to create Terraform modules with CICD already configured.

  

A higher-order module is just a module that calls another module to extend that modules functionality. You can see it being used here https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/terraform-module-template/tree/main/modules/greet_multiple

  Terraform module to create AWS VPC resources 🇺🇦

  

This is a template to create a module. It has a lot of stuff built in like testing tools. Those are all covered in the README. The module itself is just a simple "Hello World" so it doesn't really use very complicated Terraform logic. It's not a great example for advanced Terraform logic but this is https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-vpc/blob/master/main.tf.

  Terraform module to create AWS Elastic Kubernetes (EKS) resources 🇺🇦

  

You are right for a public module as a git repo, but I rarely use public modules. Most are overally complicated and low on readability. Also the greater complexity leads to more bugs. I am also not a fan of using modules directly from upstream git repository. I don't trust them to not break it or move it. The main exception I have found to not using public modules is https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks. EKS is inherently so complex that is worth using a very complex module.
