HashiCorp had revolutionized infrastructure as code when they launched Terraform a number of years ago. Since then, Terraform has replaced vendor-specific infrastructure as code solutions like AWS’s CloudFormation. Terraform abstracts away the complexity of CloudFormation and also provides a common Infrastructure as Code platform to move to a multi-cloud environment.

A module is a repeatable, independent piece of code that can be used to deploy infrastructure.

Also, all of this code is completely independent of Terragrunt and doesn’t lock you in. It works with Terragrunt, Terraform Enterprise, and Terraform Cloud.
