Description: The ‘Module Source’ in Terraform refers to the location from which a module is obtained, which is a set of reusable configurations that allow managing resources in infrastructure as code. This source can be a local repository, a remote repository on platforms like GitHub, or a Terraform module registry. Specifying the source is crucial as it determines how and from where Terraform will download the module for use in infrastructure configuration. Modules allow users to encapsulate complex configurations into simpler, manageable components, facilitating reuse and collaboration in infrastructure projects. By defining the module source, users can leverage existing modules, saving time and effort in creating configurations from scratch. Additionally, the ability to version modules and specify versions in the source allows for stricter control over configurations and their evolution over time, which is essential for maintaining stability and security in production environments.
