cp terraform.tfvars.example terraform.tfvars

# Enter the correct credentials in terraform.tfvars

# To initialize a module 
terraform init

# To plan changes
terraform plan -var-file=terraform.tfvars

# To apply your changes to the infrastructure

• terraform init is necessary to be executed if any new module is added
• Project Specific Module will lie inside modules/project/<project_name>
• Project Module will have the following structure:

        project_name
    ├── dev
    │   ├── main.tf
    │   ├── outputs.tf
    │   └── variables.tf
    ├── prod

• Global Modules will lie inside modules/global/<module_name>
• Global Module will have the following structure

    module_name
    ├── main.tf
    ├── output.tf
    └── variables.tf

• main.tf will include the terraform scripts necessary to initialize the module
• variables.tf will include the variables used by main.tf
• outputs.tf will include outputs generated by `main.tf
