Terraform Community Modules
A historic collection of community-contributed Terraform modules.
Overview
The `terraform-community-modules` GitHub organization was one of the earliest central places for the community to share and collaborate on Terraform modules. While many of its most popular modules have since been forked and are now maintained in more active organizations (like `terraform-aws-modules`), it remains a significant part of Terraform's history. For example, the widely-used `terraform-aws-vpc` module originated here before being managed by Anton Babenko.
