Best practices Blueprint for AWS VPC

Customizable templates for deploying cloud infrastructure

AWS VPC

This blueprint creates an AWS VPC with best practices in mind, such as enabling DNS support and hostnames by default to facilitate resource naming and resolution within the VPC. It sets a default CIDR block of "10.0.0.0/16" but allows customization to suit different network requirements. The blueprint encourages the use of tagging for better resource management and organizes variables into groups to assist users who may not be cloud infrastructure experts.
