# Terraform Module Library
Production-ready Terraform module patterns for AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructure.
## Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to terraform module library
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
## Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
## Purpose
Create reusable, well-tested Terraform modules for common cloud infrastructure patterns across multiple cloud providers.
## Use this skill when
- Build reusable infrastructure components
- Standardize cloud resource provisioning
- Implement infrastructure as code best practices
- Create multi-cloud compatible modules
- Establish organizational Terraform standards

## AWS VPC Module Example
**main.tf:**
```hcl
resource "aws_vpc" "main" {
cidr_block = var.cidr_block
enable_dns_hostnames = var.enable_dns_hostnames
enable_dns_support = var.enable_dns_support
tags = merge(
{
Name = var.name
},
var.tags
)
}
resource "aws_subnet" "private" {
count = length(var.private_subnet_cidrs)
vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
cidr_block = var.private_subnet_cidrs[count.index]
availability_zone = var.availability_zones[count.index]
tags = merge(
{
Name = "${var.name}-private-${count.index + 1}"
Tier = "private"
},
var.tags
)
}
resource "aws_internet_gateway" "main" {
count = var.create_internet_gateway ? 1 : 0
vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
tags = merge(
{
Name = "${var.name}-igw"
},
var.tags
)
}
```
**variables.tf:**
```hcl
variable "name" {
description = "Name of the VPC"
type = string
}
variable "cidr_block" {
description = "CIDR block for VPC"
type = string
validation {
condition = can(regex("^([0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}/[0-9]{1,2}$", var.cidr_block))
error_message = "CIDR block must be valid IPv4 CIDR notation."
}
}
variable "availability_zones" {
description = "List of availability zones"
type = list(string)
}
variable "private_subnet_cidrs" {
description = "CIDR blocks for private subnets"
type = list(string)
default = []
}
variable "enable_dns_hostnames" {
description = "Enable DNS hostnames in VPC"
type = bool
default = true
}
variable "tags" {
description = "Additional tags"
type = map(string)
default = {}
}
```
**outputs.tf:**
```hcl
output "vpc_id" {
description = "ID of the VPC"
value = aws_vpc.main.id
}
output "private_subnet_ids" {
description = "IDs of private subnets"
value = aws_subnet.private[*].id
}
output "vpc_cidr_block" {
description = "CIDR block of VPC"
value = aws_vpc.main.cidr_block
}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use semantic versioning** for modules
2. **Document all variables** with descriptions
3. **Provide examples** in examples/ directory
4. **Use validation blocks** for input validation
5. **Output important attributes** for module composition
6. **Pin provider versions** in versions.tf
7. **Use locals** for computed values
8. **Implement conditional resources** with count/for_each
9. **Test modules** with Terratest
10. **Tag all resources** consistently
## Module Composition
```hcl
module "vpc" {
source = "../../modules/aws/vpc"
name = "production"
cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
availability_zones = ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b", "us-west-2c"]
private_subnet_cidrs = [
"10.0.1.0/24",
"10.0.2.0/24",
"10.0.3.0/24"
]
tags = {
Environment = "production"
ManagedBy = "terraform"
}
}
module "rds" {
source = "../../modules/aws/rds"
identifier = "production-db"
engine = "postgres"
engine_version = "15.3"
instance_class = "db.t3.large"
vpc_id = module.vpc.vpc_id
subnet_ids = module.vpc.private_subnet_ids
tags = {
Environment = "production"
}
}
```

}
defer terraform.Destroy(t, terraformOptions)

vpcID := terraform.Output(t, terraformOptions, "vpc_id")
assert.NotEmpty(t, vpcID)
