Modules Overview
Using Terraform modules can help promote code reuse, reduce duplication of effort, and improve maintainability of infrastructure code.
Modules
Terraform modules are reusable configurations that can be called from other Terraform configurations.

How Modules Work
Creating a Terraform module involves defining input variables, output values, and one or more resource definitions that can be reused in other Terraform configurations.
Module Inputs
Terraform module inputs are variables that allow users to customize and parameterize the behavior of a module.
Module Locals
Terraform module locals are variables that are used to simplify expressions or avoid repeating values within a module
Module Outputs
Terraform module outputs are values that a module can return to the calling code to expose information about the resources it created or modified.
Module Paths
Terraform module paths refer to the hierarchical structure used to organize and reference resources within a Terraform configuration, facilitating resource management and interdependencies in infrastructure as code deployments.
Module Versioning
Terraform module versioning is a mechanism for managing changes and ensuring consistency of infrastructure deployments by assigning unique version numbers to modules.
