Zilliz Cloud Introduces BYOC for Greater Data Sovereignty and Compliance

Zilliz has introduced Zilliz Cloud Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) to provide greater data sovereignty and compliance. This solution allows customers to use Zilliz Cloud's managed services while keeping their data within their private network. The architecture of Zilliz Cloud BYOC is built on two main pillars: the Data Plane, which encompasses all essential components for data collection, management, and query processing; and the Control Plane, responsible for deployment, management, and seamless coordination across all instances of the Zilliz Data Plane. The new deployment model in BYOC lets customers deploy the Data Plane within their own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) while the Control Plane remains managed by Zilliz. This setup offers benefits such as data security and compliance, fine-grained control, and cost savings. Security measures include adherence to the Principle of Least Privilege, controlled access for software updates, and data plane access restrictions. BYOC is currently available on AWS with plans to expand to other cloud providers in the future.
