Many readers know about terraform-aws-modules as a collection of 43 Terraform AWS modules with 100M+ provisions supported by the community (see Terraform Registry).
If you enjoy the modules we’ve created please give them a ⭐ and have your friends give them a ⭐ - and if your organization uses the modules to run their infrastructure, have them consider supporting through sponsorship. Cheers!
