Set up VPC Peering on AWS
This is a guide for setting up a VPC peering connection between your TigerGraph Cloud VPC and another AWS VPC.
Prerequisites
Unterminated TigerGraph Cloud solutions on AWS
Procedure
1. Initiate VPC peering
Log into the cloud portal, and navigate to the Network tab. Click Initiate VPC peering.
In the TigerGraph VPC section, Choose the TigerGraph VPC that you want to initiate the peering connection from.
In the Peered VPC section, fill in the information of the VPC that you hope to peer with:
OwnerIDThe ID of the VPC owner’s AWS account, ex:
123456789012
RegionThe region of the VPC you want to peer with, ex:
us-west-1
VPC IDThe ID of the VPC:
vpc-123456789abcdef01
CIDRCIDR-block of the peered VPC, ex:
10.0.0.0/16. You can also use a IPv6 CIDR here if your peered VPC has one.
2. Accept VPC peering request
After you have completed the first step, a VPC peering connection will be sent to your VPC. Follow the steps below to accept the peering connection on your AWS VPC. See more in AWS's documentation on Accept VPC Peering Request.
Go to “VPC service” → “Peering Connections” in the AWS web console
Accept the connection from the TigerGraph VPC
3. Update route table for VPC peering connection
After accepting the peering request, you still need to update your route table for the peering connection.
To add a route for a VPC peering connection
Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.
In the navigation pane, choose Route Tables.
Select the check box next to the route table that's associated with the subnet in which your instance resides.
Choose Actions, Edit routes.
Choose Add route.
For Destination, enter the CIDR block of the TigerGraph VPC you are peering with. You can find the CIDR block of the TigerGraph VPC at Peering Connections in the VPC service where you accepted the peering connection. There is a column "Requester CIDRs".
For Target, select the VPC peering connection, and then choose Save changes.
