Modules | Terraform Tutorial | #15 

Best terraform tutorial I have seen so far. Thank you for sharing.

The only Terraform teacher I understand 😂 Thank you! 😃

This is the best tutorial on Terraform modules I've come across so far. Thank you so much!

I have spent MONTHS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND MODULES AND YOU ARE THE FIRST TO MAKE IT in clear real example details. Amazing thank you so much!!

Will you are a gifted teacher. This is the best Terraform tutorial I've encoountered. If you are not already doing so you should consider putting up classes on the learning platforms like Coursera, Udemy, etc and get PAID !!!! You deserve it.

Great explanation! I have spent the last few days hitting my head in the wall because my modules were not working. Thanks to your explanation about root and child modules now everything is crystal clear. Thank you!

I've been asking myself "when would I use a module instead of a resource?" for the past week. You answered it in the first 30 seconds. Thank you Will!!

Great video! What I needed! Shift+alt+f to auto format instead of all the space clicking!

You are the best. Watching from South Africa. Thank you!

when I searched for terraform modules, this video came out as number 1, I was wondering why, but now I know why...this is hands down the best TF module explanation video on youtube. Some quick tips, for aligning the equals, you can use terraform fmt, also for seeing output values without running apply, you can use terraform refresh.

This is the best video I have seen so far regarding TF module. Thanks

OMG finally someone came up with a decent terraform hands on tutorial ! thank you so very much !!!

By far the best terraform video !!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. The other videos approached the topic in such a complicated way that by the end I didn't feel like watching it anymore. Great work. Keep it up ;)

Woo. Thank you. I really got a lot from this videos more than the thousand of hrs spent watching other videos. Thanks

@Will Brock - Great videos. Keep up the good work. I have noticed that you align the "=" signs. Just one tip. I usually use "terraform fmt" at the command line to align them.

Great video!

Hello sir, Thank you for these tuts. Can you pls a video on dockers using terraform from starting to end ... Eg installation to create a container ,image and run it .

such a knowledgeable tutorial on Terraform module , almost everything has been covered .Just wanted to know instead of declaring a value of variable in module , Can we pass a tfvars file to module ?

very good tutorial

very nice

Fantastic! Thank you...

Nice video, thanks !

thanks man. Well done

Thank you

What happens when required_version criteria is not met and I am using an old terraform version ? Do I need to upgrade ? Can it be overridden ? Also does same thing happen for provider versions in modules ?

Question in the directory structure, why are you calling under setup/main.tf....why is not from webserber/main.tf??

I came across a problem that if you have IntelliJ and your main.tf is in src/ and there you create a subfolder and your module got source="module" then you get: Invalid module source address: Module "vpcNgw" (declared at main.tf line 7) has an invalid source address "modules": Terraform cannot detect a supported external module source type for modules. The solution to that is to put your main.tf into some subfolder like src/terraform/main.tf and have a module in like src/module/main.tf. Having the module source set to "../module" then works

great tutorial! but how can i define a global variable which accessible for all modules?

how come we have to call the module.will_webserve.instance to export the data of aws_instance.webserver? Why cant we just do the regular output? Like I dont see any of the data from "wills_webserver" being exported at all its all the aws_instance data

i have created one module for Application load balancer, in that i have mentioned multiple resource blocks, each resource block has 'name' attribute common.... how i can assign value to specific resource block's name attribute ?

I am getting error while using output section E:\Terraform1\AWS_Infra>terraform plan Error: Unsupported attribute on check_code.tf line 16, in output "vpc_details": 16: value = module.VPC.VPC_ID This value does not have any attributes.

What if your module directory which you are sourcing, like in this case webserver has its own provider file?

Thanks Will for the detailed explanation, I have a follow-up question. I have 3 folders (named after the regions) for deploying to different regions, so these folders share 2 module resources. Is it possible to use one tf apply to deploy all resources in each folder or I must be on each folder directory to deploy one after the other? I'm not sure if my question is clear enough.

Hey Will, I am looking for Terraform Import tutorial and couldn't find any proper explanation. In case we create few resources manually and then want to update our existing TFState file, what is the process ? Do you have any such tutorial ?

Thanks for the video. it really helped. how can we use the environment variable file(tfvars) with the module . In this case, do we need variable.tf in main directory as well ??

how do you get the code to line up under the resource type? All the equal signs are stacked evenly on top of each other? Is this a separate extension?

Lets say i have 4 modules for org policy each with different constraints... while sending data from tfvars... i am unable to send more than 1 module data

Hello Will How we can call another module if we have dependany on another module to target that resource like we have 2 module one is VPC and another is ec2 so after creation of VPC we need to deploy ec2 in that particular subnet so how we can do it pleae suggest we.

Can I call these modules from the root main file by passing variables in the form of tfvars?

Thanks Will, How do you run "a" module 1st and then only "b" module 2nd. ? Please let me know.

thanks again, is there any way we can contribute to your work? tipee ?

Great content Will. I have a question: In your webserver directory you have mani.tf, variables.tf & outputs.tf. In a more complex configuration would it be possible to split the main.tf across multiple modules ie one for vpc, one for subnets etc etc???

Hi Tim, I am getting confused with path and relative path when i use a module that references another module, basically I run into the unreadable module directory have you seen that issue before?

11:04 what was it very nice tutorial tho

1.25x speed feels good

why's he always saying/using foobar? confuses the heck outta me 😩
