How is VPC attached to TGW from a different account?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

A TransitGateway created in account B needs to be shared to account A using RAM.  
If you create a TransitGateway attachment in account A after sharing TransitGateway, account A's VPC and account B's VPC will be able to communicate.

Answer

thanks so much for coaching on this.

Answer

Account A cannot directly attach its VPC to Account B's transit gateway (TGW). However, Account B, which owns the transit gateway, can share it with account A using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM). This allows account A to attach its VPC to the shared TGW. The key steps are:

1. Account B enables resource sharing in AWS Organizations
2. Account B creates a resource share in Resource Access Manager (RAM) and shares the TGW with account A
3. Account A accepts the resource share invitation
4. Account A accepts the resource share invitation

Hope this clarified your query.
