Attaching a Virtual Private Gateway

You can attach a virtual private gateway to a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can then set up a VPN connection between the VPC and a customer gateway. For more information, see Tutorial: Setting Up a VPN Connection.

This action updates the attachment state of the virtual private gateway from detached to attached, while the virtual private gateway remains in the available state. For more information, see About Virtual Private Gateways > Lifecycle.

You can attach each virtual private gateway to one VPC only at a time. You can attach a virtual private gateway to a VPC before or after creating the VPN connection. For more information, see Creating a VPN Connection.
