AWS VPC peering connection

A networking link between two VPCs is called a VPC peering connection. With the help of this connection, you may use private IPV4 or private IPV6 addresses to transport traffic between your VPCs. Instances in either VPC can converse with one another in this manner as though they were on the same network. You are not constrained to using the VPCs in your own account when setting up peering connections. You can connect to VPCs in other AWS accounts using peering.

Additionally, the VPCs may be located in other regions, which is referred to as an inter region VPC peering connection. In light of this, VPC peering offers a straightforward and affordable method of resource sharing between regions or accounts. Furthermore, VPC peering links aid in data transmission. This may be used in a variety of situations, such as data replication for data redundancy or to encourage communication between users inside of businesses through a network of file sharing. A WS makes advantage of the VPC’s pre-existing infrastructure while establishing peering connections. It doesn’t require any additional hardware and is neither a gateway nor a VPN connection.

Peering connections thereby avoid issues like bandwidth constraints or a single point of failure for communication. The AWS backbone is also used through peering connections. It never travels via the open Internet; it’s the backbone. By successfully reducing dangers like typical exploits and DDoS assaults, VPC peering. The process of creating a VPC peering connection between two VPCs will next be discussed.
