To add context to the other (long) answer about setting up Transit Gateway:
You can't do as you need because you can't route to a specific destination in VPC A from VPC B - you can only route to the VPC peering endpoint. And once the traffic "arrives" in VPC A there is no route evaluation happening - the destination must be in the CIDR range of VPC A.
An easier solution would be to set up a Wireguard endpoint in VPC B.
To achieve your goal of allowing EC2 instances in VPC B to reach the Wireguard IPs managed by an EC2 instance in VPC A, you can indeed use AWS Transit Gateway. This approach provides a scalable and flexible solution for connecting multiple VPCs and handling routing across them. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to implement this solution:
1. Set Up AWS Transit Gateway
1.1. Create a Transit Gateway:
- Go to the AWS Management Console.
- Navigate to the VPC dashboard.
- Select Transit Gateways and click Create Transit Gateway.
- Configure the Transit Gateway according to your needs (give it a name, enable default route table association and propagation, etc.).
1.2. Attach VPC A and VPC B to the Transit Gateway:
- After creating the Transit Gateway, select it and go to the Attachments tab.
- Click Create Transit Gateway Attachment.
- Choose VPC as the resource type and select VPC A.
- Repeat the process to attach VPC B to the Transit Gateway.
2. Configure Route Tables
2.1. Update VPC A Route Table:
- Navigate to the VPC dashboard and select the route table for VPC A.
- Add a route for the Wireguard client IP range (10.50.64.0/19) pointing to the Wireguard EC2 instance.
- Add another route for VPC B CIDR (10.2.0.0/16) pointing to the Transit Gateway.
2.2 Update VPC B Route Table:
- Navigate to the VPC dashboard and select the route table for VPC B.
- Add a route for the Wireguard client IP range (10.50.64.0/19) pointing to the Transit Gateway.
2.3. Update Transit Gateway Route Tables:
- Navigate to the Transit Gateway console.
- Select the Transit Gateway and go to the Route Tables tab.
- Ensure that routes are propagated between VPC A and VPC B.
- You might need to add explicit routes in the Transit Gateway route table to direct traffic for the Wireguard client IP range to VPC A.
3. Security Groups and Network ACLs
3.1. Update Security Groups:
- Ensure the Security Group associated with the Wireguard EC2 instance in VPC A allows inbound traffic from VPC B CIDR (10.2.0.0/16).
- Configure Security Groups in VPC B to allow traffic to the Wireguard client IP range (10.50.64.0/19).
3.2. Network ACLs:
- Ensure Network ACLs for subnets in VPC A and VPC B allow traffic for the necessary IP ranges.
4. Test the Configuration
4.1. Verification:
- From an EC2 instance in VPC B, try to ping or access a Wireguard client IP to verify the connection.
- Ensure that the traffic is correctly routed through the Transit Gateway to the Wireguard EC2 instance in VPC A.
Alternative Approach: Direct VPC Peering (Advanced) If you prefer to stick with VPC peering without using a Transit Gateway, you would need to set up more complex routing and possibly a NAT or similar mechanism to forward traffic between the VPCs correctly. However, using a Transit Gateway is typically more scalable and simpler to manage in larger or growing environments.
By following these steps, you should be able to route traffic from EC2 instances in VPC B to the Wireguard IPs managed by an EC2 instance in VPC A, leveraging the AWS Transit Gateway for efficient and manageable inter-VPC routing.
Thanks, it is very useful, I will try it out !
