VPC Peering Connections

VPC peering connection is a network connection between two VPCs. Through this connection, the instances in different VPCs can communicate with each other as if they are in the same network.

Precautions

1. EMQ X Cloud only supports creating peering connection at the same region.
2. EMQ X Cloud does not accept CIDR in the range of 10.11.1.0/24 ~ 10.64.255.0/24.
3. Peering connections are bound to resources. Please create peering connections before creating resources.
