A module is the basic unit of deployment in the Cognite Toolkit. It is a bundle of logically connected resource configuration files, each of which sets up one CDF resource type with the minimum required access controls. You can deploy modules in two ways:

Install a deployment pack

Use a pre-built, templatized module published by Cognite to accelerate project delivery.

Build a custom module

Create your own module with resource configuration files tailored to your project.
After you select or create modules, configure, build, and deploy them to your CDF project.
