Create Connection
- Login to the AWS Web Console
- Select VPC | Peering Connections
- Select Create VPC Peering Connection
- Add Name Tag
- Select the two VPC to connect
- Select VPC | Peering Connections

After creating the connection it will remain in a pending acceptance state until you accept it or it times out (30 days).
