AWS How to associate a VPC interface endpoint to a specific NLB in another VPC

Question

I have an existing VPC interface endpoint for elastic load balancer in a VPC A and a NLB in VPC B with a VPC endpoint service associated.

How I can create the association between the VPC interface endpoint and NLB as in the AWS diagram?

According to I can't connect to an endpoint service from my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) interface endpoint using AWS PrivateLink., it looks a request needs to be created.

. Request that the endpoint service provider accepts the endpoint connection request to activate the connection.

However, I do not see any option to create a request in the VPC endpoint side.

According to Create A VPC Endpoint Service, the request can be created when creating a VPC interface endpoint, but I have already created one.

Please advise how to, or correct me if I misunderstand something.

Answer 1

Go to your VPC Dashboard > Endpoint Service and check under the Endpoint Connections tab. If your VPC endpoint is in the list and the state is Available, then the association you are looking for is established.

One possible reason why you did not have a Pending acceptance status in your VPC endpoint could be that you did not check the Acceptance required box when creating the VPC endpoint service.
