In the last post, I briefly explored a feature announced at the latest AWS re:Invent conference but I’m not sure it’s working or even if and when it does, if it will meet my needs for what I’m going to do in this post.

When you create a VPC it, by default, has a route table and a security group. I wish it did not. I wish you could add those yourself with CloudFormation in a separate template after the VPC creation.
