An automatic activation 72 can be done using the [`auto_accept`](vpc_peering.html#auto_accept) attribute. Alternatively, the VPC Peering 73 Connection has to be made active manually using other means. See [notes](vpc_peering.html#notes) below for 74 more information. 75 76 The following arguments are supported: 77 78 * `peer_owner_id` - (Required) The AWS account ID of the owner of the peer VPC. 79 Defaults to the account ID the [AWS provider][1] is currently connected to. 80 * `peer_vpc_id` - (Required) The ID of the VPC with which you are creating the VPC Peering Connection. 81 * `vpc_id` - (Required) The ID of the requester VPC. 82 * `auto_accept` - (Optional) Accept the peering (both VPCs need to be in the same AWS account). 83 * `accepter` (Optional) - An optional configuration block that allows for [VPC Peering Connection] 84 (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/PeeringGuide) options to be set for the VPC that accepts 85 the peering connection (a maximum of one). 86 * `requester` (Optional) - A optional configuration block that allows for [VPC Peering Connection] 87 (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/PeeringGuide) options to be set for the VPC that requests 88 the peering connection (a maximum of one). 89 * `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource. 90 91 #### Accepter and Requester Arguments 92 93 -> **Note:** When enabled, the DNS resolution feature requires that VPCs participating in the peering 94 must have support for the DNS hostnames enabled. This can be done using the [`enable_dns_hostnames`] 95 (vpc.html#enable_dns_hostnames) attribute in the [`aws_vpc`](vpc.html) resource. See [Using DNS with Your VPC] 96 (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-dns.html) user guide for more information. 97 98 * `allow_remote_vpc_dns_resolution` - (Optional) Allow a local VPC to resolve public DNS hostnames to private 99 IP addresses when queried from instances in the peer VPC. 100 * `allow_classic_link_to_remote_vpc` - (Optional) Allow a local linked EC2-Classic instance to communicate 101 with instances in a peer VPC. This enables an outbound communication from the local ClassicLink connection 102 to the remote VPC. 103 * `allow_vpc_to_remote_classic_link` - (Optional) Allow a local VPC to communicate with a linked EC2-Classic 104 instance in a peer VPC. This enables an outbound communication from the local VPC to the remote ClassicLink 105 connection. 106 107 ## Attributes Reference 108 109 The following attributes are exported: 110 111 * `id` - The ID of the VPC Peering Connection. 112 * `accept_status` - The status of the VPC Peering Connection request. 113 114 115 ## Notes 116 117 AWS only supports VPC peering within the same AWS region. 118 119 If both VPCs are not in the same AWS account do not enable the `auto_accept` attribute. 120 The accepter can manage its side of the connection using the `aws_vpc_peering_connection_accepter` resource 121 or accept the connection manually using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, through SDKs, etc. 122 123 ## Import 124 125 VPC Peering resources can be imported using the `vpc peering id`, e.g. 126 127 ``` 128 $ terraform import aws_vpc_peering_connection.test_connection pcx-111aaa111 129 ``` 130 131 [1]: /docs/providers/aws/index.html
