VPC Peering

VPC peering is a networking connection between two Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) that enables you to connect them and share resources securely. It allows you to extend your network architecture and enable communication between resources in different VPCs as if they were on the same network.

How VPC Peering Works

VPC peering establishes a direct network connection between two VPCs using private IP addresses. When setting up VPC peering, you need to configure route tables in both VPCs to route traffic appropriately between them.

• The VPCs to be peered must be in the same AWS region.
• You must not have overlapping IP address ranges between the VPCs.
• The VPCs can be in different AWS accounts, as long as you have the necessary permissions to create peering connections.

Use Cases for VPC Peering

VPC peering has several use cases:

1. Shared Resources: You can share resources, such as databases, across multiple VPCs using VPC peering. This allows different applications or teams to access and utilize shared resources securely.

2. Centralized Data Processing: You can establish a central VPC for data processing and analysis, and connect other VPCs to it via VPC peering. This enables data consolidation and centralized management of processing and analytical tasks.

3. Cross-Account Access: VPC peering allows communication between VPCs in different AWS accounts. This can be useful when setting up resource sharing or implementing multi-account architectures.

4. Disaster Recovery: You can use VPC peering to establish a disaster recovery (DR) setup between VPCs in different regions. This enables replication of resources and data for high availability and disaster recovery purposes.

1class Main {
2    public static void main(String[] args) {
3        // Replace with your Java logic here
4        System.out.println("VPC peering allows you to connect two VPCs in the same AWS region and transfer traffic between them. It enables communication between resources in different VPCs as if they were on the same network.");
5    }
6}

In this Java example, we print a simple message explaining VPC peering. Replace the logic inside the main method with your own code to implement custom functionality using VPC peering.

class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Replace with your Java logic here

        System.out.println("VPC peering allows you to connect two VPCs in the same AWS region and transfer traffic between them. It enables communication between resources in different VPCs as if they were on the same network.");

    }
