What information does the public Terraform Module Registry expose about published modules?

The public Terraform Module Registry provides a wealth of information about published modules to facilitate the selection and usage of these modules by Terraform users. One of the key elements exposed is module size, which helps users understand the potential complexity and footprint of using a module. This detail can be particularly useful for assessing the resource overhead involved in deploying a module.

In addition to module size, the registry also displays usage statistics, indicating how many times a module has been used and often sharing feedback ratings from users. This information can help others gauge the module's reliability and popularity, making it easier to choose well-maintained and broadly adopted modules.

Lastly, author details are another critical piece of information provided by the registry. Knowing who authored a module can establish trust and credibility, particularly when users are looking for modules that are well-supported and actively maintained.

Together, these aspects—module size, usage statistics, and author details—constitute a comprehensive overview of each module, empowering users to make informed decisions about which modules to implement in their Terraform configurations. This is why the choice highlighting all the options accurately reflects the information available in the public Terraform Module Registry.
