Terraform Style Guide

Adopting and adhering to a style guide keeps your Terraform code legible, scalable, and maintainable. This guide is based on HashiCorp's official Terraform style conventions and best practices, enhanced with Azure Verified Modules (AVM) requirements for Azure-specific Terraform development.

Note on AVM Requirements: The Azure Verified Modules section provides requirements specific to Azure module development. While these requirements are mandatory for AVM certification, many of the patterns and practices have broader applicability to Terraform module development across all cloud providers and can be adopted to improve code quality, consistency, and maintainability in any Terraform project.
