Accept or delete a shared traffic mirror target - Amazon Virtual Private Cloud

Accept or delete a shared traffic mirror target

Before you can use a cross-account traffic mirror target, the traffic mirror target owner shares the target with you by using the AWS Resource Access Manager. When you are in different AWS Organizations from the owner, after the owner shares the traffic mirror target, you accept the share request. After you accept the share request, you can use the traffic mirror target in a traffic mirror session.

The traffic mirror target is visible to shared accounts in their DescribeTrafficMirrorTarget API calls. Only the traffic mirror target owner can modify or delete the traffic mirror target.

Traffic mirror sessions that are created in a different account than the traffic mirror target are visible in DescribeTrafficMirrorSession API calls that are made by the traffic mirror target owner.

If you are in different AWS Organizations from the share owner, you must accept the resource share before you can access the shared resources.

You can delete a resource share at any time. When you delete a resource share, all principals that are associated with the resource share lose access to the shared resources. Deleting a resource share does not delete the shared resources.

When you delete a shared traffic mirror target that is in use, the traffic mirror session becomes inactive.
