Vpc Peering Between Two Regions
We are covering vpc peering across 2 different aws regions with a demo.
Vpc peering between two regions. Instances in either vpc can communicate with each other as if they are within the same network. This allows vpc resources including ec2 instances amazon rds databases and lambda functions that run in different aws regions to communicate with each other using private ip addresses without requiring gateways vpn connections or separate network appliances. This is a new feature launched sometime back by aws.
Inter region vpc peering allows vpc resources like ec2 instances rds databases and lambda functions running in different aws regions to communicate with each other using private ip addresses without requiring gateways vpn connections or separate network appliances. Create a new peering connection we will first need to name our peering connection select the source vpc which will be our green account s vpc since the vpc that we want to peer with is in another account get the aws account id from the blue account and select another account and provide the account id that we want to peer with select the aws region and provide the vpc id of the blue account. Specify your vpc in the vpc requester.
You can create a vpc peering connection between your own vpcs with a vpc in another aws account or with a vpc in a. The fun begins with the network configuration section. If vpc peering is enabled we can connect to another vpc which may reside in another region or even in another aws account using private ip.
If you have already used aws console to set up vpc peering between two regions or two separate vpcs then this section is going to breeze. For this we are connecting two vpc s between tokyo and ohio. In this blog we will show you the steps to create aws vpc peering across region environment.
Vpc peering allows traffic from vpc1 to be sent to vpc2 based upon the network address of the particular resource. It requires static routes to be configured between aws transit gateways. And if you want to learn how to configure vpc peering this is the going to be a great learning experience.
Aws uses existing vpc infrastructure for peering connections. As you all know vpc peering is the private connection between two different vpc s. You can establish peering relationships between vpcs across different aws regions also called inter region vpc peering.
