Your task
Review an in-place update Add tags = { Name = "learning-network" } to the existing VPC. Keep its CIDR unchanged. The plan should show one update, with no replacement.
Learn the concepts Update or replace? Not every change recreates a resource. Changing a tag can update a resource in place. Some attributes need replacement. In this model, a VPC range change creates a new simulated identity and can cause dependent resources to need replacement too.
Read the actual plan Always read the plan instead of assuming a small text edit means a small infrastructure change. Real provider behaviour depends on its version, configuration and remote state; this model deliberately covers only the declared pilot attributes.
Dependencies are not connectivity A resource graph explains dependencies, not network reachability. Neither the graph nor a successful simulation is deployment validation.
