How I Connected My Home Network with AWS Regions Using Tailscale and VPC Peering

Hey there, fellow tech tinkerers! As a developer and cloud enthusiast, I love messing around in my home lab—a trusty Raspberry Pi 5 running my self-hosted setup. But sometimes, I need to tap into the power of AWS for testing, dev work, or hybrid projects. In this post, I’m spilling the beans on how I bridged my home network with two AWS regions (ap-south-1 and us-east-1) using Tailscale, EC2, and VPC Peering. The result? A secure, low-latency network that feels like magic. Let’s dive in!
