Terraform module structure to handle incremental azure vdi

I am currently using Terraform to create Azure vdi. My current structure is

main.tf
input.tf
module/ main.tf, var.tf

So whenever a user joined the particular team, I do the following steps Let say user1

Currently I am creating user1 folder with input.tf file and create the resource, Similar when user2 comes I am doing the same process (folder user2).

Is there any better way to handle such requirement ??

There are several possibilities to do that:

  1. Separate config files and folders - you are already doing this, and as the number of users increases, it will be a problem. But it is also most flexible, as you can custom modify TF files for each user separately.

  2. Use a set of users as an input. So you have one folder and one copy of your TF code, but you maintain set variable with users. Then use for_each to create different instance of module for each user. For example:

variable "users" {
  type = set(string)       
  default = ["user1", "user2"]
}

module "vdi" {
  source = "./module"

  for_each = var.users
}
  1. Use a separate workspace for each user.
