LAB: Configure VPC Peering between Two VPC

LAB: Configure VPC Peering between Two VPC

For VPC Peering , create a VPC in the us-east-1a region with an EC2 instance launched in a public subnet and another VPC in us-east-2a region with an EC2 instance launched in a private subnet. Now you will perform inter region VPC peering and then SSH into the private EC2 from the public EC2 instance.

Topology:

Refer Below Topology for VPC Peering.

Task:

Use previous LAB VPCs and Subnet for VPC Peering. 

Solution:

We have Already configured two VPC, one in N. Virginia region named Dclessons-prod-VPC with CIDR 10.10.0.0/16 having Public Subnet DCLESSONS-PROD-SUBNET ( 10.10.0.0/24). This VPC has one IGW attached to it and have routes towards IGW.

Another VPC DCLESSONS-DEV-VPC is in Ohio region with Subnet Dclessons-Dev-Subnet (10.11.0.0/24).

The VPC has EC2 launched already.
