/#Action=CreateVpcPeeringConnection

http://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=CreateVpcPeeringConnection

Requests a VPC peering connection between two VPCs: a requester VPC that you own and an accepter VPC with which to create the connection. The accepter VPC can belong to another Amazon Web Services account and can be in a different Region to the requester VPC. The requester VPC and accepter VPC cannot have overlapping CIDR blocks. <note> Limitations and rules apply to a VPC peering connection. For more information, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-basics.html#vpc-peering-limitations">limitations</a> section in the VPC Peering Guide. </note> The owner of the accepter VPC must accept the peering request to activate the peering connection. The VPC peering connection request expires after 7 days, after which it cannot be accepted or rejected. If you create a VPC peering connection request between VPCs with overlapping CIDR blocks, the VPC peering connection has a status of <code>failed</code>.
