Optimizing Your Terraform Projects: Best Practices for Folder Structure 🌍 Hey LinkedIn community! 👋 Managing infrastructure as code (IaC) with Terraform is a game-changer for maintaining scalable and reliable environments. One critical aspect of a successful Terraform project is having a well-organized folder structure. Here are some best practices to keep your projects tidy and maintainable: Root Module Directory: Place your primary configuration files (main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf) in the root directory of your project. This is your entry point for running Terraform commands. Environment-Specific Configurations: Create subdirectories for each environment (e.g., prod, staging, dev). Each environment should have its own set of .tf files and a terraform.tfvars file to define specific variables ├── prod │ ├── main.tf │ ├── variables.tf │ ├── outputs.tf │ └── terraform.tfvars ├── dev │ ├── main.tf │ ├── variables.tf │ ├── outputs.tf │ └── terraform.tfvars Modules: Use a modules directory to define reusable modules. Modules encapsulate resources and can be shared across different environments. ├── modules │ ├── azurerm_rg │ │ ├── main.tf │ │ ├── variables.tf │ │ └── outputs.tf │ ├── azurerm_vnet │ │ ├── main.tf │ │ ├── variables.tf │ │ └── outputs.tf
