The process of segregating environments using the main
module approach in Terraform involves creating a separate Terraform configuration file for each environment (e.g. staging, production, etc.) and storing them in separate directories.
Each environment configuration file (main.tf
) should define the resources and modules specific to that particular environment. However, to ensure consistency across environments, a main
module can be created to house common resources and modules that are shared across all environments.
The main
module should be defined in a separate directory that is outside of the environment-specific directories. The environment directories should reference the main
module using a module block in the respective main.tf
files.
For example, the directory structure might look like:
main-module/
└── main.tf
staging/
└── main.tf
production/
└── main.tf
Then, the main.tf
file in the staging
directory would declare the main
module as follows:
module "main" {
source = "../main-module"
}
And the main.tf
file in the production
directory would do the same:
module "main" {
source = "../main-module"
}
This helps to ensure consistency across environments by sharing common resources and modules while still allowing for environment-specific configuration.
