Step 3: Authorize Network Instances Across Accounts

Scenarios

If your network needs to communicate with the VPCs of other users, you need to ask them to authorize their VPCs to you. Then you can load these VPCs to your cloud connection so that your network can communicate with the VPCs. The following are steps that other users can follow to authorize their VPCs to you.

Skip this step if your network plan does not involve communications with other user's VPCs.

A VPC can only be authorized to one account. After a VPC is authorized to you, you can load it to your cloud connection so that your network can communicate with the VPC.
