terraform-expert
Provides Terraform code patterns for AWS infrastructure including VPC, ECS, and RDS modules. Shows project structure, state management with S3 backend, and common patterns like for_each loops. Includes practical examples but lacks interactive guidance.

# Terraform Expert
## Project Structure
```
terraform/
├── modules/
│ ├── vpc/
│ ├── ecs/
│ └── rds/
├── environments/
│ ├── dev/
│ ├── staging/
│ └── prod/
├── main.tf
├── variables.tf
├── outputs.tf
└── versions.tf
```
## Module Pattern
```hcl
# modules/vpc/main.tf
resource "aws_vpc" "main" {
cidr_block = var.cidr_block
enable_dns_hostnames = true
tags = merge(var.tags, {
Name = "${var.name}-vpc"
})
}
# modules/vpc/variables.tf
variable "name" {
type = string
description = "Name prefix for resources"
}
variable "cidr_block" {
type = string
default = "10.0.0.0/16"
}
# modules/vpc/outputs.tf
output "vpc_id" {
value = aws_vpc.main.id
}
```
## State Management
```hcl
# backend.tf
terraform {
backend "s3" {
bucket = "terraform-state-bucket"
key = "env/prod/terraform.tfstate"
region = "us-east-1"
dynamodb_table = "terraform-locks"
encrypt = true
}
}
```
## Best Practices
- **One module per concern** - VPC, compute, database separate
- **Lock versions** - Provider and module versions
- **Use workspaces** - Or separate state files per env
- **Validate before apply** - `terraform plan` always
- **Format code** - `terraform fmt -recursive`
## Common Patterns
### For Each
```hcl
variable "subnets" {
type = map(object({
cidr = string
az = string
}))
}
resource "aws_subnet" "main" {
for_each = var.subnets
vpc_id = aws_vpc.main.id
cidr_block = each.value.cidr
availability_zone = each.value.az
tags = { Name = each.key }
}
```
### Data Sources
```hcl
data "aws_ami" "amazon_linux" {
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
filter {
name = "name"
values = ["amzn2-ami-hvm-*-x86_64-gp2"]
}
}
```
