Terraform Demo Code

1-example-simple

Showcase a simple single folder config, without the utilisation of modules.
Uses separate .tfvar files to control different environments.
This way of structuring terraform confirms allows users to get started with terraform quickly.
However, it also increases risk of environments being accidently deleted or altered.
As the configuration grows, it will begin to become difficult to manage using this structure.

Showcases a terraform configuration that utilises modules, and a separate folder (and .tfstate file) for each environment.
Not as quick to setup.
Reduces the risk of altering or destroying environments accidently.
Promotes code reuse and consistency between environments.
Modules are declared independantly, making the configuration as a whole easier to manage, and slowing the growth of complexity.
