In this recipe, we will outline how to deploy AWS VPCs using Ansible. AWS VPCs are the foundational networking construct in AWS and they can be thought of as a virtual data center within the cloud that the administrator creates within their AWS account. In order to start building any other infrastructure-related services within AWS, a VPC must first be created. We will outline how to describe all the required VPCs and how to automate their creation using Ansible.
