I would like to begin this publish with an amazing quote from The DevOps Handbook which says: “When new learnings are found domestically, there should even be some mechanism
to allow the remainder of the group to make use of and profit from that data.” Infrastructure as Code isn’t a brand new idea and it’s already utilized in many tasks. Nonetheless, collaborating on IaC has not at all times been straightforward for builders. Many group are combating sharing the data and experience of their builders with different groups. This can be a tough drawback that personal registries Terraform Cloud/Enterprise is aiming to resolve.
In a earlier publish, we had a go on fixing the chilly begins for Lambda Features. Now we need to assist the following individual in our group stopping them from reinvent the wheel once more.
This tutorial assumes you have already got a Terraform Cloud account, if you have not opened up an account but, please use the hyperlinks bellow to open one.

So how do you go about creating a personal registry?
We start by creating the module that you just’d wish to publish. I’m utilizing this module. I personally choose including variables with sensible defaults as a lot as I can. After all, the buyer of this module can be going to wish a few of the outputs of this module for use of their utility, e.g. the ARN of the lambda operate. so remember so as to add them within the output part.
After creating the module, we’re able to push it into Github. Please additionally concentrate on the naming conference on your module, which observe the “terraform–” sample.
Earlier than we soar to terraform cloud, we have to construct a launch for our venture in Github, observe this this to construct the discharge, OR, click on on releases on the best pane of your repository, click on on “draft a brand new launch” select a tag for the discharge (ought to observe x.y.z versioning sample), give it a title and click on on publish, and we’re good to go.
Now soar to Terraform Cloud, and click on on registry, then click on on modules, publish, modules. In case you do not see your VCS supplier, you could join it with Terraform cloud earlier than continuing, please go to this link to take action.
Select your repository, and click on on Publish module!
Congratulations on publishing your first Terraform Module.
Within the subsequent publish, I’ll present you the best way to eat this module and combine it into an even bigger utility.
