The source argument in a module block tells Terraform where to find the source code for the desired child module.

  • source = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"

Terraform uses this during the module installation step of terraform init to download the source code to a directory on local disk so that it can be used by other Terraform commands.


module "consul" {
  source = "./path/to/you/module"
}
