VPC Peering Connection with Confluent Cloud

This document describes how to create a VPC peering connection between EMQX Cloud and Confluent Cloud to enable private network communication between your EMQX Cloud deployment and the Confluent Cloud cluster.

Create a VPC Peering Connection

After the Confluent Cloud cluster has been created, you can add peering by referring to the following steps:

1. Go to the Networking section of the Cluster settings page and click on the Add Peering button.

   

2. Enter the VPC information.

   • You can get the information from the Network Management -> VPC Peering Connection section of your deployment in the EQMX Cloud Console.

   

   

3. When the connection status is Inactive, go back to the deployment console to accept the peering request. Fill in the VPC information of the Confluent Cloud cluster and click Confirm. When the VPC status turns to running, you successfully create the VPC peering connection.

   

Delete a VPC Peering Connection

To delete a peering connection, you need to ensure that the status of the peering connection is Running.

TIP

Before deleting the peering connection, please make sure that there are no associated resources in the deployment; otherwise, there will be unpredictable risks

1. Go to the VPC Peering Connection area on the Network Management page.

   

2. Click the "delete" icon in the Actions column of the peering connection.
