Hi Guys,

I am new in Terraform technology. I don't know too much about modules and workspace. Can anyone tell me the difference between modules and workspace in Terraform?

Hi@akhtar,

I think a key difference between Terraform Modules and Workspaces is that modules can be inherited and used by other modules and configurations. Terraform Workspaces are intended to be a collection of configurations that represent a single environment, whereas Modules are components that can be utilized by one or more modules/configurations. I think you could use Modules in a similar way to how you are using Workspaces, but you would be contradicting the intent of the Modules.
