Join us for a webinar on Use Case-Oriented Design for Terraform modules. We will teach you to write maintainable modules tailored to specific functional requirements. This design philosophy enhances usability and ensures that each module performs optimally within its intended environment.

‍

Key Topics:

‍

Minimal Interfaces: Learn how to design modules with a minimalistic approach, focusing on exposing only necessary variables that directly relate to the module's functionality. This reduces complexity and makes the modules more intuitive.

‍

Hard-Coded Values: We will explore the strategic use of hard-coded values within modules to promote consistency and reliability across deployments, reducing the potential for errors.

‍

Guard Rails: Discover how to implement guard rails in your Terraform modules to prevent misconfigurations and ensure that users operate within predefined operational parameters.

‍

Enums/Options vs. Any String Input: Understand the importance of using enums or predefined options instead of arbitrary string inputs to restrict user choices to valid and tested configurations, thus enhancing module robustness.

‍

Validations: We will cover incorporating validations within your Terraform modules to check for correct input values before deployment, ensuring that configurations meet the required criteria.

‍

Presets (Prod, Dev): Learn about splitting operational configurations (Ops) from development configurations (Dev) to address different concerns efficiently. This approach allows for seamless transitions between development and production environments by using presets tailored for each.

‍

Structured Output: Gain insights into the best practices for structuring outputs from Terraform modules. We will discuss how defining clear output "types" can aid in the predictability and reusability of modules across different projects.
