summary: Accept Vpc Peering Connection
description: Accept a VPC peering connection request. To accept a request, the VPC peering connection must be in the pending-acceptance state, and you must be the owner of the peer VPC. Use DescribeVpcPeeringConnections to view your outstanding VPC peering connection requests. For an inter-Region VPC peering connection request, you must accept the VPC peering connection in the Region of the accepter VPC.

summary: Create Vpc Peering Connection
description: 'Requests a VPC peering connection between two VPCs: a requester VPC that you own and an accepter VPC with which to create the connection. The accepter VPC can belong to another Amazon Web Services account and can be in a different Region to the requester VPC. The requester VPC and accepter VPC cannot have overlapping CIDR blocks. Limitations and rules apply to a VPC peering connection. For more information, see the VPC peering limitations in the VPC Peering Guide. The owner of the accepter VPC must accept the peering request to activate the peering connection. The VPC peering connection request expires after 7 days, after which it cannot be accepted or rejected. If you create a VPC peering connection request between VPCs with overlapping CIDR blocks, the VPC peering connection has a status of failed.'
