Working with Terraform Modules

Prerequisites

To complete this task, Terraform and Azure CLI must be installed and configured on your machine.

Steps to Complete the Task

1. Fork this Repository

2. Create a Simple Terraform Module

• Create a directory named modules/resource_group_storage in the root of your repository.
• Inside the modules/resource_group_storage directory, create the following files:
  • main.tf: define the resources.
  • variables.tf: define the variables.
  • outputs.tf: define the outputs.

3. Publish the Module on GitHub

• Create a new repository on GitHub named according to Terraform's naming convention, e.g.terraform-azurerm-resource_group_storage.
• Add the module files (main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf) to this repository.
• Add an INSTRUCTION.md file with detailed usage instructions.
• Add a LICENSE file to specify the usage rights.
• Add a .gitignore file to ignore Terraform state files and other sensitive information.
• Commit and push the files to GitHub.

4. Publish the Module to Terraform Registry

• Ensure your GitHub repository name follows the format terraform-<PROVIDER>-<MODULE_NAME>.
• Sign in to the Terraform Registry with your GitHub account.
• Publish the module by linking your GitHub repository to the Terraform Registry.
• Tag the repository with a version (e.g., v1.0.0) following semantic versioning.

5. Use the Module from Terraform Registry

• In your main Terraform configuration (main.tf), use the module from the Terraform Registry.
• Initialize and apply the configuration to verify that the module is used correctly.

6. Pull request's description should also contain a reference to a successful workflow run
