Announcing DNS Resolution Support for VPC Peering

Posted on: Jul 28, 2016

Today, we are announcing DNS resolution support for a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering connection. You can now enable resolution of public DNS hostnames to private IP addresses when queried from the peered VPC. This functionality is also supported cross-account so the two VPCs can be in different accounts. This feature simplifies DNS setup for VPC peering connections.

You can enable DNS resolution support for VPC peering using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, through SDKs. For more information, see ‘DNS Resolution Support for Peering Connection’.
