Using AWS to add into existing VPC

[jamesrftl]

In Terraform Docs, it seems that it may be required to use the Default AWS VPC. Using AWS Default VPC can be a big security risk and many customers delete this by default.

I need the ability to not use this as I have existing VPCs and want to add resources into this.
I also don’t need to create new VPCs.

Any suggestions would be great.

You could use a datasource to reference any existing VPCs in your region by their ids.

• Reference : Terraform Registry

Thanks for the info\suggestion, I’ll start looking into this further.
