ID: TFFR1 - Category: Composition - Cross-Referencing Modules

Module owners MAY cross-references other modules to build either Resource or Pattern modules. However, they MUST be referenced only by a HashiCorp Terraform registry reference to a pinned version e.g.,

module "other-module" {
  source  = "Azure/xxx/azurerm"
  version = "1.2.3"
}

They MUST NOT use git reference to a module.

module "other-module" {
  source = "git::https://xxx.yyy/xxx.git"
}

module "other-module" {
  source = "github.com/xxx/yyy"
}

Modules MUST NOT contain references to non-AVM modules.

See Module Sources for more information.
