AWS VPN to AWS VPC

I have a service provider offering an AWS VPN connection to their AWS VPC. Their process is designed to work with an on premise connection.

However, I want to connect my AWS VPC to the AWS VPN they have created.

They have shared the VPN Connection Configuration file with me.
I have given them an Elastic IP I have set aside in my AWS account and it appears in the Connection Configuration file as the Tunnel (1&2) Interface Configuration, Outside IP Addresses, Customer Gateway.

What AWS assets on my side, do I need to setup to establish the connection?
Can anyone point me to a guide that describes the configuration steps needed?
Do I need to configure an AWS asset FIRST and THEN release the resulting public IP address for them to insert into the VPN Configuration file?

Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Have you considered VPC peering (docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/what-is-vpc-peering.html)? From your question the VPN appears to be unnecessary, unless the service provider refuses to play ball with VPC peering. – Alex Hague

You can connect your Amazon VPC to remote networks and users using the following VPN connectivity options:

  1. AWS Site-to-Site VPN
  2. AWS Client VPN
  3. AWS VPN CloudHub
  4. Third party software VPN appliance

According to what You described, I think the first choice is the most suitable for You. You can enable access to your remote network from your VPC by creating an AWS Site-to-Site VPN (Site-to-Site VPN) connection, and configuring routing to pass traffic through the connection.
