help wantedsec: VPC

Description

There's this page which is useful: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Appendix_Limits.html

Then at reinvent just today there was an announcement that cross-region peering is now available

I was also in a session by Matt Lehwess where he talked about something in the peering setup having a 1,5Gbps limit, I believe it was the IGW or VFW, not sure, sorry :)

Research direction
Research AWS VPC limits from the provided link (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC Appendix Limits.html) and the cross region VPC peering announcement from re:Invent 2017. Locate the VPC section in the og aws guide, likely in the markdown files under the repository's root or a documents folder. Update the guide with the new limits and peering capabilities. Verify the throughput limit mentioned (1.5 Gbps) and add appropriate citations.
