Module Standards

Background

The driver behind the changes are the followings:

• The increasing complexity of the IaC modules are making updating and testing the code more and more difficult and time consuming.
• There are need for common standards how these modules are developed, in order to make integration of these parts into each other seamless and EASY.

Goals

• Develop small sub-modules called Bricks and build up complex deployments with Wrapper modules.
• Develop reusable terratests, as a go module, based on Gruntworks Terratest suite
• Develop automated README.MD generation with terraform-docs
• Develop automated CHANGELOG.MD generation - tool under discussion.
• Follow DevSecOps best practices as a default deployment model, so consumers having secure by default deployments, which meets the Legal Requirements and Industry Best Practices.
