VPC Peering in AWS | Hands-On Tutorial for Beginners in Cloud Computing

In AWS, a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private network for your resources. When you create a new account, a default VPC is created automatically. But it’s a best practice to use a custom VPC for your resources, which means you can end up with multiple VPCs. So how can they talk to each other?

In this hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to peer two VCPs, which essentially lets them act as a single network, with EC2 instances being able to communicate across VPCs. We’ll start by creating an EC2 instance in each VPC, then creating a peering connection between the two, and finally updating the route tables for each VPC.

She explained very well. Even after successfully completing the task, she guided us on what needed to be deleted. Seriously, very good.

This video was easy to follow and understand. I especially liked how you created resources, then showed how to delete the resources when you're done. I don't think anybody else does that with their video content. Awesome video; well done!
