Share a multicast domain using Amazon VPC Transit Gateways

When an owner shares a multicast domain with you, you can do the following:

  • Register and deregister group members or group sources

  • Associate and disassociate subnets

Note

To share a multicast domain, you must add it to a resource share. A resource share is an Amazon RAM resource that lets you share your resources across Amazon accounts. A resource share specifies the resources to share, and the consumers with whom they are shared. When you share a multicast domain using the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Console, you add it to an existing resource share. To add the multicast domain to a new resource share, you must first create the resource share using the Amazon RAM console.

If you are part of an organization in Amazon Organizations and sharing within your organization is enabled, consumers in your organization are automatically granted access to the shared multicast domain. Otherwise, consumers receive an invitation to join the resource share and are granted access to the shared multicast domain after accepting the invitation.

You can share a multicast domain that you own using the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud console, Amazon RAM console, or the Amazon CLI.
