Create VPC and Nat Gateway

Create VPC and NAT Gateway

Open your CDK project and create a new stack named VpcStack.java.
Inherit from Stack from the awscdk library and create a constructor.
Define the VPC property and create a getter method.
- Add the property in the VpcStack.java class:
```
private final Vpc vpc;
```
- Then, create a getter method to access this VPC for other resources:
```
public Vpc getVpc() {
    return vpc;
}
```
Initialize the VPC object in the constructor of VpcStack.java with the following code:
```
this.vpc = new Vpc(this, "Vpc", VpcProps.builder().build());
```

Next, name the VPC as ECommerceVPC and specify the number of Availability Zones as 2 using the following code:
```
.vpcName("ECommerceVPC")
.maxAzs(2)
```

If you want your VPC to be public and not use a NAT Gateway, you can add the following code:
```
.natGateways(0)
```

You may choose not to use a NAT Gateway in a lab environment to save costs, but avoid doing this in a production environment.
