Create NP2 Peering Request
Create VPC Peering Request in NP1
As the Service Provider, you want to enable your NLB to be shared with other VPCs. You Can whitelist AWS accounts that can create Endpoints in their VPCs if they explicitly know the name of your new Endpoint Service. if with the Whitelisting, you also have the ability to require explicit acknowledgement from the service provider side, before their PrivateLink becomes active.
In the AWS Management Console choose Services then select VPC.
From the menu on the left, Scroll down and select Peering Connections. Peering Connections allow us to connect two VPCs, even in other AWS Accounts. We will focus on local region, but you can also create cross-region VPC peering.
In the main pane, click the Create Peering Connection button.
On the Create Peering Connection page: Give your connection a Peering connection name tag, Select your NP1-*your-stack* VPC for VPC (Requester), keep Account and Region at defaults, and Select NP2-*your-stack* VPC for VPC (Accepter).
You will see the CIDR ranges for each listed out. Peering will not succeed if there is an overlap IP CIDRs between the two VPC.
Click the Create Peering Connection button at the bottom of the page.
You should get a Success Page, click ok.
