 Through the `override.json`, you can pass any variable or supported optional variable attributes from this root module, which each pattern uses to provision infrastructure. For a complete list of supported variables and attributes, see the [variables.tf ](variables.tf) file.

 #### Overriding variables
 
 After every execution of `terraform apply`, a JSON-encoded definition is output. This definition of your environment is based on the defaults for the Landing Zone and any variables that are changed in the `override.json` file. You can then use the output in the `override.json` file.

 # One VPC with one VSI example
 
 The examples shows how you can use the landing zone module to create a basic, minimal topology by using an `override.json` file.
-1. A single VPC:
-   - Named `management` in this example
-   - Includes three subnets across the three availability zone to host VSIs
-   - Default, open network ACLs
-2. One single VSI:
-   - Named 'jump-box' in this example
-   - Located in one of the 'vsi' subnets of the VPC
-   - Publicly exposed via a floating IP address.
-   - Open security groups
-
-This example also creates the minimum encryption and audit infrastructure.
-- A Key Protect instance and key that is used to encrypt the VSI boot volume
-- The Activity Tracker infrastructure (Activity Tracker route to an encrypted COS bucket that stores audit events)

+:information_source: **Tip:** You can use the [landing zone configuration tool](https://terraform-ibm-modules.github.io/landing-zone-config-tool/#/home) to further customize the `override.json` file.
+
+The example deploys the following infrastructure:
+
+- A single VPC that is named `management` with 3 subnets across the three availability zone to host VSIs. By default, the network ACLS are open.
+- A single VSI that is name `jump-box` and located in one of the `vsi` subnets of the VPC. It is publicly exposed with a floating IP address and with open security groups.
+
+The example also creates the minimum encryption and audit infrastructure:
+
+- A Key Protect instance and key that is used to encrypt the VSI boot volume.
+- The Activity Tracker infrastructure: An Activity Tracker route to an encrypted COS bucket that stores audit events.
 
 :exclamation: **Important:** This example shows an example of basic topology. The topology is not highly available or validated for the IBM Cloud Framework for Financial Services.
 
 Example usage:
-```

+```sh
 export TF_VAR_ibmcloud_api_key=<your api key> # pragma: allowlist secret
 terraform apply -var=ssh_key='ssh-rsa ...' -var=region=eu-gb -var=prefix=my_slz

 This example demonstrates how to configure the landing zone module by using an `override.json` file. The example builds on the default topology that is defined in the VSI pattern, and uses a JSON file to override the default configuration.
 
+:information_source: **Tip:** You can use the [landing zone configuration tool](https://terraform-ibm-modules.github.io/landing-zone-config-tool/#/home) to further customize the `override.json` file.

 The example deploys the following infrastructure:
 
 - An edge VPC with 1 VSI in one of the three subnets and a VPC load balancer in the edge VPC, exposing the VSI publicly.
