How to Use Terraform Registry – Elements & Private Registries

The Terraform Registry is a crucial component in any Terraform workflow due to its modular approach. It contains cloud provider modules and documentation for developers using these modules in their projects. Providers are classified into three tiers - Official, Partner, and Community. Modules are also stored in the registry, which can be publicly or privately published. The Terraform Cloud account is required to publish any type of resource to the Terraform Registry. Organizations can also use Spacelift's Module Registry for managing infrastructure using Terraform IaC with additional features like testing, versioning, and automatic triggering of module consumers.
