Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) with Zilliz Cloud
About the Webinar
Production AI teams often want managed vector search while keeping sensitive data and cloud resources in their own environment. Running vector database infrastructure in-house gives teams more control, but requires them to manage scaling, monitoring, upgrades, and maintenance themselves.
Zilliz BYOC is designed to bridge this gap by keeping vector data and processing in the customer’s cloud while Zilliz manages the database service. Join Rohit Nijhawan and Jiang Chen to learn where Zilliz BYOC fits, how it works, and how it supports enterprise requirements in practice.
What You’ll Learn
- Self-managed Milvus vs Zilliz Cloud vs Zilliz BYOC — Compare how the three options differ in data location, cloud ownership, and service management. See how BYOC gives Milvus users Zilliz-managed database operations while keeping sensitive data in their own cloud.
- Zilliz BYOC Architecture and Responsibility Boundaries — Explore the separation between the customer-hosted Data Plane and the Zilliz-managed Control Plane, including what each side owns and operates.
- AWS Deployment Walkthrough — Follow the deployment process from preparing your AWS environment and configuring a BYOC project to activating the data plane with Terraform.
- BYOC Planning and Ongoing Operations — See what your team should decide before deployment and what ongoing management looks like after your BYOC environment goes live.
- Ask Me Anything — Bring your BYOC questions to Rohit and Jiang.
