Virtual Private Cloud:CreateVpcPeerConnection

Last Updated:Jul 24, 2024

Creates a VPC peering connection

Operation description

Before you create a VPC peering connection, take note of the following items:

  • CreateVpcPeerConnection is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns an instance ID and runs the task in the background. You can call GetVpcPeerConnectionAttribute to query the status of the task.

    • If the VPC peering connection is in the Creating state, the VPC peering connection is being created.
    • If the VPC peering connection is in the Activated state, the VPC peering connection is created.
    • If the VPC peering connection is in the Accepting state, it is a cross-account connection. The connection needs to be accepted on the accepter side.
  • You cannot repeatedly call CreateVpcPeerConnection within the specified period of time.

When you create a VPC peering connection, the system automatically activates Cloud Data Transfer (CDT) for you.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.

Authorization information

There is currently no authorization information disclosed in the API.

Request parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescriptionExample
RegionIdstringYes

The ID of the region where you want to create a VPC peering connection.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

cn-hangzhou
VpcIdstringYes

The ID of the requester VPC.

vpc-bp1gsk7h12ew7oegk****
AcceptingAliUidlongYes

The ID of the Alibaba Cloud account to which the accepter VPC belongs.

  • To create a VPC peering connection within your Alibaba Cloud account, enter the ID of your Alibaba Cloud account.
  • To create a VPC peering connection between your Alibaba Cloud account and another Alibaba Cloud account, enter the ID of the peer Alibaba Cloud account.
Note If the accepter is a RAM user, set AcceptingAliUid to the ID of the Alibaba Cloud account that created the RAM user.
1210123456123456
AcceptingRegionIdstringYes

The region ID of the accepter VPC of the VPC peering connection that you want to create.

  • To create an intra-region VPC peering connection, enter a region ID that is the same as that of the requester VPC.
  • To create an inter-region VPC peering connection, enter a region ID that is different from that of the requester VPC.
cn-hangzhou
AcceptingVpcIdstringYes

The ID of the accepter VPC.

vpc-bp1vzjkp2q1xgnind****
NamestringNo

The name of the VPC peering connection.

The name must be 2 to 128 characters in length, and can contain digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). It must start with a letter.

vpcpeer
DescriptionstringNo

The description of the VPC peering connection.

The description must be 2 to 256 characters in length. The description must start with a letter but cannot start with http:// or https://.

description
DryRunbooleanNo

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run. The system checks the request for potential issues, including missing parameter values, incorrect request syntax, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error code is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.
  • false (default): performs a dry run and performs the actual request. If the request passes the dry run, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned and the operation is performed.
false
ClientTokenstringNo

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length.

Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.
02fb3da4-130e-11e9-8e44-001****
ResourceGroupIdstringNo

The ID of the resource group.

For more information about resource groups, see Resource groups.

rg-acfmxazb4ph6aiy****
BandwidthintegerNo

The bandwidth of the VPC peering connection. Unit: Mbit/s. The value must be an integer greater than 0. Before you specify this parameter, make sure that you create an inter-region VPC peering connection.

100
