Configuring VPC Peering

Ted, the cloud engineer at Windyfront Air Conditioning, has been approached by one of the application teams. They would like to implement a shared services VPC so each of their applications can talk to a central location for these services. After researching, Ted has identified the easiest method to achieve their requirements is to configure VPC peering between the VPCs. In this lab, you will configure VPC peering between two VPCs.
