I want to use VPC Reachability Analyzer? to check connection between my vpc and an ec2 instance.

  • The vpc is in us-west-2 region and instance is in us-east-1 region.
  • I want to know if the VPC reachability analyzer is region specific or not because when creating the analyzer path in us-west-2 I see that I cannot reach the endpoint of my instance which is in us-east-1 region.

You are peering two VPCs across regions? – Marcin
@Marcin no I am not peering them. I only want to see if they have the connection through security groups. – mgb

VPC Reachability Analyzer does not work over internet nor across regions or accounts:

The source and destination resources must be owned by the same AWS account.

The source and destination resources must be in the same Region.

The source and destination resources must be in the same VPC or in VPCs that are connected through a VPC peering connection. In the case of a shared VPC, the resources must be owned by the same AWS account.
