Terraform Best Practices

General Conventions

• Use _ (underscore) instead of - (dash) in naming.
• Use lowercase letters and numbers

Resource and Data Source

• Do not repeat resource type in the resource name.
  • Example: Prefer "asw_route_table" "public" {} over "aws_route_table" "public_route_table" {}
• Use the resource name this if there is no more descriptive and general name, or if the module creates a single resource of type.
• Singular nouns
• Use - in arguments values and places where it will be exposed to a human.
