Question: Communication between AWS Commercial and Gov Cloud (beehaw.org)

Hey! Curious if anyone tried to communicate between GovCloud and Commercial AWS? I am aware they are separated by design. I have a task to try to have a ECS make an api call a private api gateway on GovCloud. Right now the idea is to use private API gateway on GovCloud and a VPC Endpoint on the Commercial side. I don’t think this will work..

I’m certain that this cannot be done without a VPN or having the GovCloud api be public facing, but as I’m not by any means an expert in AWS networking I am curious if anyone has any thoughts?

I haven’t worked directly on gov cloud but I’m familiar with its design. The two systems are completely isolated from each other with internet in between. I know you can port forward in AWS so a solution would be to spin up a VPN server in AWS and connect to it from gov cloud.

I appreciate the advice! I’m thinking too that VPN will probably be the way to go.
