AWS VPC Peering Connection does not show up in routing table

Question

im studying for the Solutions Architect certification and struggeling with the VPC peering.

I set up 2 VPCs and created a peering connection between both VPCs. VPC1 (10.0.0.0/16) is requestor VPC2 (10.1.0.0/16) is acceptor

i accepted the peering connection.

Now i have to add the corresponding network in the routing tables. I can successfully add 10.1.0.0/16 to the routing table of VPC1 in private and public subnet. But on the other side im not able to add 10.0.0.0/16 to the routing table of VPC2 because the vpc peering connection does not show up in the console.

Any ideas what i can do?

Thx! Thomas

Answer 1

just found the issue. the right VPCs have been selected but the CIDR from the default VPC was used. no clue why. Maybe clicked first on the default one... i dont know
