What is a module in Terraform?
- AA container of Terraform files in a directory used together as a reusable unit
- BA single Terraform file that defines exactly one resource for one provider
- CA plugin that teaches Terraform how to manage a specific platform's API
- DA stored record of the real infrastructure that Terraform currently manages
Why this is the answer
A module is a directory of .tf files grouped as a reusable unit, not a single file. A plugin that wraps an API is a provider, a different concept.
