I'm trying to use CDK (Typescript) to create an RDS (Postgres) instance within an ISOLATED subnet. As far as I understood, the default VPC created automatically in each of my account regions only has Public Subnets.
If I then want to launch a Fargate instance on top of one of those Public Subnets, do I need to create a VPC Peering between the ISOLATED subnet and the default VPC?
Any idea how to create that using CDK?
"Any idea how to create that using CDK?" -> yes:
Use AWS CDK to provision a new VPC similar to this. As you can see, there are subnets for public, applicational and database layers;
[OPTIONAL] For a better AWS CDK project organization, you can use multiple stacks like network (VPC resources), compute (Fargate resources), and database (RDS). You can pass the vpc on network stack to compute & database stacks;
Be sure that you set vpc on the ECS cluster and at load-balanced level (if applicable) and put RDS database in the isolated/database by using vpcSubnets attribute
To sum up, one VPC. No applicational or database exposed to the public. I have a git repo in case you want to look for sample code/template
VPC peering is when you have two VPC with different CIDR ranges. You have one VPC hence no need to use VPC peering.

I have lightsail instances in multiple regions.
I want to allow Instance_1 in Region_1 to be able to communicate with a custom aws vpc from that region.
I understand that each lightsail instance is an independent vps (virtual private server).
Is it correct to say that- when vpc peering is enabled (under account settings), then all the lightsail instances in the region get access to the default vpc of the region?
Is there any way to enable it only for 1 lightsail instance?
Assuming a region has multiple vpc's (say a default vpc and an additional vpc), then is there any way to enable vpc peering to the non default aws vpc?
No.
VPC Peering in Amazon Lightsail only permits connection to the Default VPC in a Region.
It also looks like all resources would be included in the peering relationship.
If you need better control, you would need to use Amazon EC2 instead of Amazon Lightsail.
(I suspect that these limitations are intentional, to encourage people with more requirements to use Amazon EC2. Amazon Lightsail is marketed as a 'starter' product with a lower price and therefore less functionality.)
i have a aws eks cluster with in the dev vpc now i have few ec2 instance in the test-vpc so now i need add the add test-vpc instance to the existing existing cluster. can we do. ?
FYI VPC peering i have done as well and peering also working
An Amazon EKS cluster is provisioned in a single VPC.
If you have a dev-VPC and a test-VPC, you need to use two different EKS clusters.
I want to have different VPC for dev/test/prod and one separate VPC for share services like jenkins. I'll use VPC peering between the Shared Services VPC and each of the environments VPCs
Each environment will have its own RDS instance.
RDS setup has this option about instance public accesibily, and I'm confused about the "No EC2 instance or devices outside of the VPC will be able to connect" statement.
If I choose "no" will I still be able to connect to the dev RDS instance from the shared services VPC by using VPC peering?
Yes you will be able to access from your 'shared services' VPC if you've peered the two VPCs.
Be sure to follow the VPC peering guide. The biggest thing is to make sure the CIDR block ranges do not overlap and you'll have to set the security groups on each RDS instance to allow traffic from the Jenkins instance in the 'shared services' VPC
Is this possible? I would like to use elasticache, which seems to only be allowed to be created in my default VPC (alternative question is: How can I launch elasticache in a custom VPC), however I can't connect to it in a separate VPC. I don't know how to configure my clusters (or launch them outside of the "Getting Started")so that I can launch them in an existing VPC that I can set.
You could just create the elasticache instance in the VPC created by the ECS cluster. Though, you'll need to create a cache subnet group first. See: ElastiCache (redis) for non default VPC
I'm following AWS's instructions Scenario 2: VPC with Public and Private Subnets and am having issues at the point I try to launch a DB server.
When I launch my instance, all is fine and I am able to assign it to my newly created VPC. However, when it comes to launch the RDS, the only VPC available (on step 4, configure advanced settings) is the default VPC (ie not the one I created as per their instructions).
Has anyone any idea about this or indeed how to resolve it?
RDS requires a little more setup than an EC2 instance if you want to launch it within a VPC.
Specifically, you need to create:
a DB subnet group within the VPC
a VPC security group for the RDS instance
The documentation is a little buried in the AWS RDS documents. It can be found here:
