you can either reference the vpc outputs you need as stack references:
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/organizing-stacks-projects/#inter-stack-dependencies>
or look up the VPC defined in another stack
<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/ec2/vpc/#look-up>

you can't have a resource owned by many stacks though, it needs to be defined once

you _could_ have a configurable flag, something like

```if config.create_vpc {
 // create the vpc
} else {
 // get the vpc using the get method
}```

and then configure the stacks to create the vpc, if that makes sense
