Description
We can provide a better user experience by creating the following resources instead of requiring the user to previously have created them.
- VPC
- Subnet
- VPC firewall rules (to allow SSH)
We'd respect the ip_pool and ssh_port attributes too so the VPC is bound to the correct ip_pool and the firewall rule punches a hole just for the SSH port.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how the plugin currently consumes ip_pool and ssh_port and how it handles VPC, subnet, and firewall resources. Done means these resources are created automatically, the VPC uses the requested ip_pool, and SSH access is limited to ssh_port.
