Terraform Smarter, Not Harder: The Power of Modular Infrastructure as Code

🚀 Why Modular Terraform Matters
Cloud infrastructure starts simple—but as teams scale, Terraform scripts become harder to maintain. A monolithic setup is a nightmare to update and risky to deploy.

💡 The Fix? Modular Infrastructure → Break your Terraform code into reusable, independent components for better scalability, security, and efficiency.

🛠️ What’s Inside This Post?
Here’s what I cover in depth:

✅ Breaking Terraform into Modules → Networking, Compute (EKS), and Storage.
✅ Terraform Code & Best Practices → With real-world examples.
✅ How to Future-Proof Your Infrastructure → Avoiding Terraform tech debt.
