EC2 CLI Help creating VPCs with name

Question

I am trying to streamline the process for creating VPC/EC2 environments without using the gui. I also want to automate it by telling a script what I want created with what properties.

I decided that the best place to start is to create a VPC and create an EC2 instance with in it.

I am using

aws ec2 create-vpc --cidr -block 10.0.0/16
