In this section, you’ll create a second transit gateway route table in the network-prod AWS account so that you have control over which of your VPCs can access the site-to-site VPN connection and the infrastructure shared services VPC that you’ll set up in a later section. You’ll associate your workload hosting VPCs with this second route table.
Create a transit gateway route table for your workload hosting VPCs:

Create associationNow that you’ve associated the team development VPC with the route table, you need to enable transit gateway to route traffic from the team development VPC to your on-premises network via your site-to-site VPN connection. You do this by adding a propagation to your route table. The propagation will propagate the routing information associated with the site-to-site VPN connection attachment to this route table.

When using BGP, this routing information will be dynamically updated as you modify your on-premises routing information via your customer gateway.Adding shared infrastructure services VPC: Later, when you create your shared infrastructure services VPC, you’ll attach that VPC to the transit gateway and add a propagation for the attachment to this route table. This propagation will enable traffic from the workload VPCs to be routed the shared infrastructure services VPC.
