Network Security
Zilliz Cloud provides secure access options to protect your data:
- Private Link Connectivity — Establish direct, private connections to your instance without exposing traffic to the public internet.
- IP Whitelisting — Restrict access to approved IP addresses, minimizing unauthorized connections.
Zilliz Cloud allows you to control access by specifying trusted IP addresses or CIDR blocks at the project level. For enhanced security, you can also configure private links across AWS, GCP, and Azure, ensuring secure communication within your VPC.
