How to create a VPC Peering connector
This page explains how to create a peering connector using the Scaleway console.
Before you start
To complete the actions presented below, you must have:
- A Scaleway account logged into the console
- Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- Created a VPC
- The unique VPC ID of the VPC you want to peer with
- Activated routing on both VPC peers
-
Click VPC Peering in the Network section of the Scaleway console side menu.
-
Click + Create a peering connector. The peering connector creation wizard displays.
-
Choose a region in which to create your peering connector.
-
Select an origin VPC from the current Scaleway Project using the drop-down menu.
-
Enter the ID of the target VPC you want to peer with. The target VPC can be in a different Project/Organization.
-
Enter a name for your connector, or use the automatically-generated one. Optionally, you can also add tags to help organize your resources. Each tag should be separated by a space.
-
Click Create a peering connector to finish.
Your new peering connector will be in an Orphan status until an owner or manager of the target VPC creates a matching peering connector on their end, defining their VPC as origin, and your VPC as target.
Once the two matching connectors are created, you must create custom routes in each peered VPC to allow traffic between them.
