Creating a VPC Peering Connection

Function

This API is used to create a VPC peering connection.

If you create a VPC peering connection with another VPC of your own, the connection is created without the need for you to accept the connection.

If you create a VPC peering connection with a VPC of another tenant, the peer tenant must accept the connection so that the connection can be created. If the peer tenant refuses the connection, it cannot be created.
