Hi, I’m trying to understand what a ComponentResource is vs a CustomResource. I want to do roughly what the awsx stuff does but with our own requirements. Can I create a ComponentResource or CustomResource called “Network” that contains an ec2.vpc etc that I can get information from, ie (in python))
network = Network()
…
ec2.do_something(… vpc_id = network.vpc_id)
