Create and use Terraform modules to organize your configuration. Host a static website in AWS using two modules: one from the Terraform Registry and one you will build yourself. Organize configuration using directories and workspaces.
Read about how Terraform modules make configuration easier to organize, understand, reuse, and share. Learn about the directory structure of a module, and how to call them.
