## 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!
