## What's a Module?
87+
88+
A Module is a canonical, reusable, best-practices definition for how to run a single piece of infrastructure, such
89+
as a database or server cluster. Each Module is written using a combination of [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/)
90+
and scripts (mostly bash) and include automated tests, documentation, and examples. It is maintained both by the open
91+
source community and companies that provide commercial support.
92+
93+
Instead of figuring out the details of how to run a piece of infrastructure from scratch, you can reuse
94+
existing code that has been proven in production. And instead of maintaining all that infrastructure code yourself,
95+
you can leverage the work of the Module community to pick up infrastructure improvements through
96+
a version number bump.
