VPC Peering Connection

Note

This feature is only available with the EMQX Dedicated and Dedicated Flex editions.

A VPC peering connection is a private network connection between two virtual networks. After a peering connection is established, instances in different networks can communicate with each other using private IP addresses, as if they were in the same network.

EMQX Cloud supports creating VPC peering connections with major cloud providers. Select your cloud provider below and follow the corresponding guide to configure the connection.

Supported Cloud Providers

• Create a VPC Peering Connection with AWS
• Create a Virtual Network Peering Connection with Azure
• Create a VPC Peering Connection with Confluent Cloud
• Create a VPC Network Peering Connection with GCP
• Create a VCN Peering Connection with Oracle Cloud

Precautions

• EMQX Cloud only supports creating peering connections within the same region.
• The CIDR block must not overlap with the CIDR of the EMQX Cloud VPC.
• Peering connections are bound to resources. Create the peering connection before creating resources that depend on it.
• If your VPC uses a CIDR range outside the standard private address spaces (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16), please contact EMQX Cloud Support before creating the connection. This helps ensure traffic between your VPC and EMQX Cloud is accounted for correctly and avoids unexpected internet traffic charges.
