Inquiry about Sharing Transit Gateway (TGW) with Different AWS Account in us-east-1 Region"

0

The customer has established a Direct Connect connection in the us-east1 AWS region. This connection is linked to a Direct Connect (DX) Gateway utilizing a transit Virtual Interface (VIF). Additionally, a Transit Gateway (TGW) has been set up in the us-east 2 AWS region.

Now, the customer intends to share the same Transit Gateway (TGW) with a different AWS account that exists in the us-east 1 region.

The question is: Is it possible to share the same TGW with a different AWS account in the us-east 1 region?

In summary, the customer has set up a network infrastructure connecting two AWS regions (us-east1 and us-east 2) using Direct Connect and Transit Gateway, and they are considering sharing the TGW with another AWS account in the us-east 1 region.

Transit Gateway is a regional construct. You can not share a TGW in us-east-2 with an account in us-east-1. You'll need to setup a separate TGW in us-east-1, you can then potentially peer the 2 TGWs for inter-region connectivity.

Take a look at this example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/hybrid-connectivity/aws-dx-dxgw-with-aws-transit-gateway-multi-regions-and-aws-public-peering.html

  • Thank you for your input, Tushar. I have a couple of questions: Is it necessary to associate two Transit Gateways (TGWs) with the Direct Connect Gateway if we do not intend to establish inter-region peering between the two TGWs? In the scenario where inter-region peering is configured on the Transit Gateway, is it sufficient to associate just one TGW, or is it still required to associate both TGWs?

  • If you dont need inter-region connectivity then TGW peering is not required. Direct Connect Gateway provides north-south connectivity (on-premises to AWS) and TGW peering provides east-west/inter-region connectivity (AWS region A to AWS region B)

  • Thanks again, Tushar! Please correct me if my understanding is accurate:

    1. To establish connectivity with the principal account in the us-east-1 region, I must create a Transit Gateway (TGW) in the same us-east-1 region.
    2. Similarly, to connect to the principal accounts in the us-east-2 region, I need to create a separate Transit Gateway in the us-east-2 region.
    3. Once the TGWs are created in both us-east-1 and us-east-2 regions, can I associate both of them with the Direct Connect (DX) Gateway to achieve the desired connectivity?
  • Answer to your first 2 questions is yes. for question # 3 - yes, you can associate the 2 TGWs with the same DXGW for the on-premises connectivity.
