Announcing the General Availability of Zilliz Cloud BYOC on Google Cloud Platform
Today, we are excited to announce that Zilliz Cloud BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) is now generally available on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Building on the success of our AWS offering, this GCP expansion was driven by strong customer demand for advanced vector search capabilities within their established GCP infrastructure.
With Zilliz Cloud BYOC on GCP, you no longer need to move sensitive data outside of your security perimeter. Our unique architecture deploys the Zilliz Cloud Data Plane directly into your own GCP project. This means your vectors, indexes, and proprietary data reside securely within your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), while you still benefit from the expertise of our team managing the operational complexities through the Zilliz Cloud Control Plane. It's the best of both worlds: enterprise-grade security with fully managed convenience.
BYOC GA on GCP
For enterprises building AI-powered applications on Google Cloud, this represents a game-changing solution that eliminates the trade-off between cutting-edge vector search capabilities and strict data governance requirements.
Key Benefits of Zilliz Cloud BYOC on GCP
Complete Data Sovereignty and Compliance-Ready Security
With the data plane running in your GCP account, you maintain full control over your data and can enforce your organization's security policies without compromise. Leverage familiar GCP IAM roles, implement your existing network security rules, and easily meet compliance requirements including GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and industry-specific regulations — all while benefiting from a fully managed vector database service.
Native GCP Integration
Eliminate the complexity and cost of cross-cloud data movement. Your vector search engine runs alongside your existing GCP services — whether you're pulling data from BigQuery, storing embeddings in Google Cloud Storage, or running inference with Vertex AI. This co-location minimizes latency, eliminates data egress fees, and creates a unified architecture that your teams can manage with existing GCP tools and expertise.
Flexible and Automated Deployment
For teams that value repeatability and automation, our official Zilliz Cloud Terraform Provider enables you to provision and manage your BYOC deployment as code. Streamline your DevOps processes, maintain version-controlled infrastructure, and deploy with confidence. For those who prefer a hands-on approach, we also provide a comprehensive step-by-step guide. This walkthrough gives you granular control over the configuration of networking, authentication rules, and project setup.
Simple Architecture, Powerful Results
The Zilliz Cloud BYOC model delivers enterprise capabilities through an elegantly simple approach:
You Own the Environment: You designate a project within your GCP organization for the Zilliz Cloud data plane.
We Handle the Deployment: Using either our Terraform provider or manual setup guide, you configure networking and permissions. Zilliz then deploys and configures the data plane components in your project.
We Manage, You Control: Our Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) manage cluster health, performance optimization, and updates through the secure control plane, while you retain complete control over your data and underlying infrastructure.
