  4. Create a VPC peering connection.

    Create a VPC peering connection to connect VPC 1 and VPC 2.

  5. Configure a route.

    Configure a route for the dedicated gateway by setting the IP address to the IPv4 CIDR block of VPC 2 where the created load balancer is located.

  6. Create an API.
