# Terraform Module Library

> Build reusable Terraform modules for AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructure following…

Production-ready, reusable Terraform module patterns for AWS, Azure and GCP that turn one-off infrastructure scripts into a maintainable component library. Each module follows the standard main/variables/outputs/versions layout with input validation, examples and Terratest coverage, so teams provision VPCs, databases and clusters the same way every time across clouds. Standardize your IaC instead of copy-pasting HCL between projects.

## Use cases
- Reusable VPC, RDS, EKS and storage modules
- Standardizing multi-cloud resource provisioning
- Composing root modules from building blocks
- Enforcing organizational Terraform standards
- Input validation and version pinning
- Terratest-backed module testing

## Benefits
- Stop repeating infrastructure code with a single DRY source of truth
- Shrink blast radius by splitting state along network, compute and data domains
- Catch misconfigurations at plan time, where fixes cost far less than at apply
- Provision identically across AWS, Azure and GCP with one interface contract

## What’s included
- Standard module structure (main/variables/outputs/versions/examples/tests)
- AWS VPC module with subnets, gateway and tag merging
- Variable validation blocks (CIDR regex, allowed values, bounds)
- Module composition examples wiring VPC into RDS
- Terratest Go test scaffold for apply/destroy verification
- Lifecycle guards (create_before_destroy, prevent_destroy)

## Who it’s for
Platform and DevOps engineers building standardized, multi-cloud infrastructure-as-code that the whole team can reuse safely.

## How it runs
Copy-pasted Terraform is debt with a blast radius. The library approach scaffolds every module in a standard layout, validates inputs at plan time, splits state by domain, and refuses to ship anything Terratest has not proven.
1. Scaffold every module in the standard layout: main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, versions.tf with pinned providers, an examples directory and Terratest files, so each module is documented and provable.
2. Validate inputs at the variable level: CIDR regex checks, allowed-value lists for instance types, numeric bounds. Bad values die at plan time, not after a half-applied infrastructure change.
3. Compose instead of copying: modules expose outputs like vpc_id and subnet_ids, root modules wire them together, and environment differences live only in tfvars files while module code stays identical.
4. Limit blast radius structurally: state split by domain (network, compute, database), 5 to 15 resources per module, prevent_destroy on critical resources like databases and buckets.
5. Enforce policy as code in CI: terraform validate and plan on every PR, tflint plus tfsec or checkov gates, and any plan that shows a destroy fails the pipeline by default.
6. Version modules semantically and prove them with Terratest (apply the example, assert outputs, destroy) before they enter the shared registry.

## FAQ
### We are AWS-only, is the multi-cloud angle wasted on us?
No, the core of the library is the standard main/variables/outputs/versions layout, input validation and Terratest coverage, which pay off on a single cloud just as much. The included worked example is in fact an AWS VPC module wired into RDS; Azure and GCP are the same interface contract applied elsewhere.

### How does it catch misconfigurations before anything is provisioned?
Variable validation blocks reject bad input at plan time: CIDR regex checks, allowed-value lists and numeric bounds, and lifecycle guards like prevent_destroy protect stateful resources. Terratest then runs real apply/destroy cycles in CI, so what reaches production has been exercised.

### Does it ship a finished module for every resource I might need?
No. You get the structure, the validation patterns, a complete VPC example, composition recipes and a Terratest scaffold: not a registry covering every AWS, Azure and GCP service. Modules beyond the examples you build yourself, following the same layout.
