--- slug: title: Template description: date: draft: true tags: categories: --- ## Develop a Terraform Module In the final step of this article, I will show you how you can transform this piece of code in a reusable Terraform module. ### What is a Terraform Module? Terraform modules are reusable components that let you organize and simplify your infrastructure code by grouping related resources into a single unit. Instead of repeating the same configuration across multiple places, you can define it once in a module and use it wherever needed, just like calling a function in programming. Modules can be local (within your project) or remote (from the Terraform Registry or a Git repository), making it easy to share and standardize infrastructure patterns across teams or projects. By using modules, you make your code more readable, maintainable, and scalable. ### Terraform Code We will now transform the Terraform code above by creating our own module called `pve_vm > 📌 Reminder, you can find all the code I have written in my [Homelab repo](https://git.vezpi.me/Vezpi/Homelab/), the following code is located [here](https://git.vezpi.me/Vezpi/Homelab/src/commit/22f64034175a6a4642a2c7b6656688f16ece5ba1/terraform/projects/simple-vm). Don't forget to match your variables with your environment! #### Code Structure ```plaintext terraform |-- modules | `-- pve_vm | |-- main.tf | |-- provider.tf | `-- variables.tf `-- projects `-- simple-vm-with-module |-- credentials.auto.tfvars |-- main.tf |-- provider.tf `-- variables.tf ``` #### Module
