Terraform Module Cookiecutter

This CookieCutter Template generates Terraform Modules with all the best practices.

To use this template install CookieCutter and run this command:

cookiecutter gh:TerraformInDepth/terraform-module-cookiecutter

You will then be asked a few questions, such as what provider you are using, which will be used to generate a customized project.

If your project has custom (but repeated) needs you can always fork this template to add any customizations your team might want.
