BYOC: A Deployment Option That Balances AI Innovation and Security
In this issue:?
?? From POC to Production: The Enterprise GenAI Journey?
??2023 was the year of GenAI prototypes. By mid-2024, a clear pattern emerged: enterprises needed more than just basic vector search - they needed enterprise-grade solutions that could handle billions of vectors while meeting strict security requirements.
The challenge? Many organizations, especially in regulated industries, couldn't move forward with their AI initiatives due to data sovereignty concerns. ?? Even though vectors are just numerical representations, security teams remained cautious about any form of data leaving their control.
?? Why BYOC Is the Answer?
Zilliz Cloud BYOC emerged as the solution enterprises needed, combining SaaS convenience with on-prem security. Here's what makes it different:
?? Keep data in your VPC, get managed service benefits?
?? Minimal operational overhead, full security control?
?? Optimized for data gravity - reduced costs and latency?
?? Enterprise-ready compliance features
Imagine: ?? Hospitals using AI to dramatically improve patient care. They can manage patient data vectors without external exposure.
Imagine: ?? Financial institutions detecting fraud in real-time. They can keep sensitive customer information within approved boundaries.
The blocker of security/compliance is relieved with BYOC.?

???? How BYOC Works?
The secret to BYOC's success lies in its architecture:
??Control Plane (Zilliz VPC):
??Data Plane (Your VPC):
?? BYOC Upgrades
Zilliz Cloud BYOC had some upgrades in 2025 to make your data even MORE secure.?
?? Rock-Solid Permission Settings
Our new fine-grained permission system lets you control access down to the smallest detail. IAM integration means you can manage everything through your existing security framework.
??? Trust, But Log Everything?
Every query, every change, every access attempt is now tracked. Our new audit logging system transforms operational visibility by capturing every interaction within the data plane.
??? Your Network, Your Rules?
Concerned about exposing your data to the public internet? New AWS PrivateLink ensures your vector data remains completely isolated from the public internet. Plus, our WAF-enabled protection catches threats before they become problems.
? Deploy at the Speed of Innovation?
Infrastructure-as-code support through AWS CloudFormation and Terraform means you can spin up secure environments in minutes, not months. All the security, none of the wait.
?? Coming to a Cloud Near You?
While we're starting with AWS, GCP support is already in private preview, and Azure is just around the corner. Multi-cloud flexibility without security compromises.
