The name "module" is confusing

[Hiroki-Harata-sti]

The name "module" conjures up the image of a concrete entity, which makes it difficult to convey that it is an abstract entity.

Since a module is a pair of the current instance, we would like to devise a name for both. For example, the following are candidates.

1. module <-> instance (current)
2. class <-> instance (OOP like)

• model <-> instance
• template <-> instance

@Hiroki-Harata-sti Thank you for your suggestion. It was decided to continue using the term module. The class term took into account the possibility that object-oriented thinking may adversely impede understanding. We felt that module term was an equivalent term to existing IaC tools such as terraform and ansible, and would lower the barrier of entry for users of other tools when migrating.
