Creating Your First Terraform Module

Table of Contents

1. Challenge

   Construct a local Terraform module for an S3 static website

   • Create an initial local directory structure for the project and module that includes main.tf, variables.tf, and outputs.tf files
   • Define the required AWS S3 resources in main.tf, including the bucket and its website configuration
   • Parameterize the module by declaring input variables for the bucket name and resource tags in variables.tf
   • Configure module outputs in outputs.tf to return the bucket’s Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and the website endpoint URL
2. Challenge

   Deploy a Terraform module from a root `main.tf` file and verify that it is working as expected

   • Call the local module from a root main.tf file using a module block, a relative source path, and variable arguments
   • Deploy the infrastructure using terraform init and terraform apply to create resources in AWS
   • Verify that the resources were created in the AWS Management Console
