View VPCs from your terminal
orbit lists VPCs as a dense, sortable table: 6 columns including Name, Vpc Id and State, fetched with EC2:DescribeVpcs.
Every action on this view is a read, so browsing cannot change anything even in a writable run. Press Enter on a row to drill into subnets and security groups.
