The issue is that lots of folks get started on AWS (or any cloud provider) and because everything’s built around getting developers in a hurry to push out some code this step is increasingly taking less and less time. Sure, it’s not a big d

The part that irks me is that if you’re doing any VPC design that’s going to even potentially include peering you need to carefully understand the limitations first. This means that within the same region you can refer to security groups in
